What is recorded here

Standing stone in Tooraree Lower is a split upright in pasture, its three sections still leaning across the foot of an E-facing slope. The tallest piece rises two metres with a pointed top, while two shorter rectangular sections lie beside it, all surrounded by packing stones that suggest someone once set the rock in place. Whatever it marked has gone quiet, but the shape remains: a broken finger still pointing upward through grass and rain.

In pasture, at the foot of an E-facing slope. An upright stone that has split into three sections along its long axis (NNE-SSW). The highest section (H 2m; at base: 1.8m x 0.35m) is at the E side and has a roughly-triangular profile with a pointed top. The lower sections (H 1.5m; 0.7m x 0.14m & H 0.85m; 0.66m x 0.2m) have a roughly rectangular profile. Packing stones are evident around the base of the stone.

Likely dating to the Neolithic or Early Bronze Age, this standing stone may have had ritual or territorial significance. Its orientation and position on a slope could reflect landscape alignment or symbolic use in prehistoric belief systems.
