Redcastle is a Bronze Age standing stone located 275 metres east-south-east of Graham's Wood in the Haugh of Urr, Kirkcudbrightshire, Scotland. The monument belongs to a widespread tradition of stone erection practised across Scotland during the Bronze Age, a period when such monoliths served ritual, commemorative, or territorial functions within prehistoric communities. The stone survives as a substantial upright feature in the landscape, its positioning and form typical of single standing stones from this era in southwest Scotland. Such monuments are valuable indicators of Bronze Age settlement patterns and religious practices in the region, contributing to the archaeological understanding of prehistoric Dumfries and Galloway.
