Turoe Stone

The Turoe stone is a granite stone decorated in a Celtic style located in the village of Bullaun, County Galway, Ireland, 6 km north of Loughrea off the R350 regional road.

[2] The stone is positioned in a covered protective structure on the lawn in front of Turoe House, set in a concrete base surrounded by a metal cattle grill.

[citation needed] George Coffey, in his 1904 paper for the Royal Irish Academy on the subject of La Tène art, said that the stone had been moved in the 1850s from the rath of Feerwore site.

[5] As of 7 July 2014, it had been temporarily removed from the Turoe Petting Farm for restoration and cleaning.

[7] Excavation yielded much material suggesting that an open site dating to the late centuries BC had been later enclosed.
