Turoe stone, Iron Age granite artifact in Bullaun, Ireland.

The Turoe Stone features continuous abstract curvilinear designs on its upper half while maintaining a smooth, plain surface on its lower portion.

Originally located at the rath of Feerwore, the stone was moved to Turoe Farm during the 1850s, altering its archaeological context.

The stone exhibits Celtic La Tène style patterns, representing a significant example of Iron Age artistic expression in Ireland.

The Office of Public Works maintains the granite monument under a protective structure with a concrete base and metal cattle grill.

The stone measures 1.68 metres in height and contains specific patterns that suggest connections to fertility symbolism.
