Standing stone in Coumroe

Standing stone

What is recorded here

Situated on a slight ridge in a poorly drained boggy valley in an upland area with a stone circle (TN019-046001) 60m to the NE. A recumbent slab (L 0.8m; dims. 0.6m x 0.4m) resting on smaller support stones in a slight hollow. Possible collapsed standing stone. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Tipperary. Vol. 1 - North Tipperary' compiled by Jean Farrelly and Caimin O'Brien (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2002). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 22 September 2008
Probably dating to the Neolithic or Bronze Age, this standing stone may have been part of a ritual or funerary landscape associated with the nearby stone circle. Its placement on a ridge suggests a possible alignment or symbolic function, though specific folklore or use remains unrecorded.

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
