What is recorded here
Toormore holds a flat stone beside an old rath where people may have spoken curses instead of prayers. The small marker stands in open pasture, waiting for anger or warning rather than praise. Its purpose is not decoration but consequence, giving human frustration a visible shape.
In pasture, close to the summit of a small rise. A stone (H 0.5m; 0.3m x 0.6m), situated immediately to the NW of a rath (KE059-003----), is said locally to be a 'cursing stone'.
