What is recorded here

Standing stone in Brackloon (corkaguiny By.) is a tall pointed stone in County Kerry, Ireland. It stands beside a cup-marked stone and a possible cist on a level rise above the Anascaul valley. A simple Latin cross appears on one face, suggesting the place continued to matter after older hands had already shaped it.

A standing stone, cup-marked stone and possible cist (KE045-082----) are grouped in close proximity to one another, overlooking the Anascaul valley from the level summit of a local E-W rise, in generally undulating pastureland at the foot of Knockafeehane. The standing stone measures 1.24m x .65m at base, the sides rising irregularly to a pointed top at a height of 3.25m; E-W. A simple Latin cross with expanded terminals has been added to the N face about 1.25m from the base. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 86. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.

This standing stone, located in a prominent landscape position, likely dates to the Neolithic or Bronze Age and may have had ritual or ceremonial significance. The presence of a cup-marked stone and possible cist suggests a funerary or symbolic function, possibly linked to early farming communities or local folklore associated with the site.
