Overview

History & significance

Delacorse Uchaf Standing Stone is a prehistoric monolith located in Carmarthenshire, Wales, designated as a scheduled ancient monument under the Cadw reference CM310.

Like many such stones, its precise dating and original purpose remain subjects of archaeological interpretation, though its surviving presence testifies to the significance of the site within the prehistoric landscape of the region. The monument represents an important element of Carmarthenshire's archaeological heritage and contributes to our understanding of prehistoric ritual practice in medieval and early historic Wales.
