Originally located in the vicinity of the 'Rath of Feewore' (GA097-150001-). Known as the Turoe Stone, this National Monument consists of a glacial erratic (H 1.2m) shaped into a flattened cylinder with a domed top. Its upper 0.8m is covered with a well-preserved quadripartite arrangement of three-plane curvilinear ornament of La Tène style. This is bounded below by a horizontal band, 0.2m deep, of incised step-pattern. See GA097-150006- for its original location. (Redington 1902, 118; Raftery 1944, 23-52; Killanin and Duignan 1967, 132; Harbison 1975, 102; Cody 1989, 166-70, no. 29)
The stone has been temporarily removed to the Office of Public Works depot in Athenry for conservation purposes.
