Standing stone in Rossadrehid is a standing stone in Rossadrehid, County Tipperary, Ireland. It stands on the north-east edge of a small natural flat-topped hillock in the Glen of Aherlow, facing a gentle north slope with a River Aherlow tributary thirty metres to the west. The rectangular red sandstone conglomerate measures 0.53 metres by 0.42 metres and rises 1.1 metres, leaning slightly north with quartz inclusions protruding from its surface.

On the NE edge of a small natural flat-topped hillock on a gentle N-facing slope, in pasture in the Glen of Aherlow. A tributary of the River Aherlow flows roughly N-S 30m to the W. There are good views in all directions with a range of hills, including Slievenamuck, visible to the N, while the view ESE-S-W is dominated by the Galtees. This standing stone (0.53m x 0.42m; H 1.1m), composed of red sandstone conglomerate with quartz inclusions protruding, is rectangular in plan and orientated NE-SW. The NE and NW sides bulge out as the stone rises while the other faces are quite flat. The stone appears to be leaning towards the N. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 29 July 2013
