What is recorded here

Bracked Stones was a ruined circle of fifteen stones in wet Kildare pasture, but human greed or neglect broke that ring before 1985. Two displaced rocks still lie scattered where the chamber stood, denying the place the dignity of memory. The circle did not fade; it was killed.

In gently undulating, wet, rushy pasture. Walshe (1931, 127) describes it as, ‘a ruined stone circle, 26 yards [c. 23.8m] in diameter. Of the fifteen stones still extant, only 6 remain in their original position.’ In 1985, the stone circle was found to have been destroyed, with two large displaced pieces of rock on the site which may originally have formed part of the circle (SMR file). A second stone circle (KD029-023----) stands c. 830m to the NNE in Broadleas Commons townland. Compiled by: Gearóid Conroy Date of upload: 16 September 2013
