Turoe Stone

The Turoe stone is a 1.2 metre tall granite stone decorated in a Celtic style normally located in the village of Bullaun, County Galway, Ireland [1]. It probably dates to about the period 100 BC to AD 100 [1]. The Turoe stone is National Monument of Ireland Number 327 [1]. The top half of the stone is covered with a continuous abstract curvilinear La Tène style design similar to that on the Castlestrange Stone in County Roscommon [1]. The religious or ceremonial purposes of the stone are lost in time [1].
