What is recorded here

Standing stone in Toor (Kilcash parish) is a standing stone in Toor (Kilcash parish), County Tipperary, Ireland. It is a large red sandstone boulder aligned east to west on a lower southeast slope of Slievenamon Mountain. The roughly rectangular stone stands 1.4 metres high, reaches 1.37 metres in length, and has broad north and south faces that narrow slightly upward. Cattle have poached the ground around its base into a hollow, and its irregular north face shows much spawling.

In upland area, on a lower SE slope of Slievenamon Mountain, in pasture. Extensive view E and S with the Comeragh Mountains in the distance from S-SW. A large red sandstone boulder with some pebble inclusions, aligned E-W. Roughly rectangular in plan (L 1.37m x Wth 0.52m; H 1.4m) with broad faces to the N and S, it narrows slightly as it rises (Wth 0.2-0.48m). Some fractures evident. N face is very irregular, having suffered much spawling. The ground around the base of stone has been poached by cattle, creating a hollow. The stone rises slightly higher at the W end, but this may be a result of how the stone has fractured and broken. There is a thin seam of quartz towards the base at the E end of the S face.
