Standing stone in Kilmaloge is a standing stone in Kilmaloge, County Tipperary, Ireland. The fractured limestone marker stands 1.5 metres high on the northeast edge of a gentle north-facing pasture ridge. A large portion at the north angle split away in the past, giving the rectangular stone an irregular profile while cattle erosion formed a depression around its base.
