About this place

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, 6 km north of Loughrea off the R350 regional road. It probably dates to about the period 100 BC to AD 100. The stone is usually positioned on the lawn in front of Turoe House, set in a concrete base surrounded by a metal cattle grill. The Turoe stone is National Monument of Ireland Number 327 (NM#327). As of 2025, the stone had been moved temporarily to an Office of Public Works depot in Athenry for conservation.
