What is recorded here

No gallery exists where this anomaly belongs. Chambers, ledges, doors and chambers again. Camera work is wasted because the picture refuses to form.

This record relates to the original location of the Turoe Stone, which was in the vicinity of the Rath of Feewore (GA097-150001-) (Raftery 1944, 23) but the precise location is unknown. It was subsequently moved to the lawn in front of Turoe House – see GA097-152---- for present location. The stone has been temporarily removed to the Office of Public Works depot in Athenry for conservation purposes. Compiled by: Olive Alcock Date of upload: 3 August 2018

Dated to the early Christian period (5th–7th century AD), the Turoe Stone is an aniconic sculpture, possibly representing a stylized bull or other symbolic figure, and may have had ritual or territorial significance. It is associated with early monastic or pagan traditions, though its exact meaning remains uncertain.
