What is recorded here

Standing stone in Gortmahonoge is a standing stone in Gortmahonoge, County Tipperary, Ireland. A small low stone stood atop a rounded upland hillock until it was removed between 2005 and 2006. The hillock may be an artificial burial mound because parts appear constructed, while other parts appear natural. Early maps showed a quarry or hollow at the site, and the area still offers wide views toward the Galtee Mountains to the south.

On top of a small rounded hillock in upland area. There are good views in all directions, especially of the Galtee Mountains to the S. Up to c. 2005 there was a small low standing stone atop this hillock. Between 2005 and 2006 it was removed and is no longer visible. In places the hillock appears to have been artificially constructed, however, in other places it appears to be natural. Depicted as a small quarry on the 1st (1840) ed. OS 6-inch map and as a hollow (dims. c. 18m N-S; c. 15m E-W) on the 1902-03 revision. The standing stone may have been marking a burial mound, which is possibly the low hillock that still survives.
