Standing stone in Tooraree Lower

Standing stone

What is recorded here

Cattle have rubbed the conglomerate smooth, but the stone still leans slightly southeast on the pasture ridge. Its rounded top catches light while the base hides small packing stones beneath worn earth. The animal traffic has not erased the shape; it has polished the marker into the landscape.
In hilly pasture, on the SE-facing slope of an E-W ridge. An upright stone of conglomerate (H 1.3m; Wth at base 1.1m; Wth at shoulder 0.95m; T 0.6m), with its long axis aligned NE-SW. It leans slightly to SE. It is roughly rectangular in section and has a rectangular profile with a rounded top. The surface of the stone has been polished by cattle rubbing against it; they have also worn an area around the base revealing several packing stones.
