- Turoe Stone (Local Tradition)There is a local tradition that this stone once occupied a site other than that on which it now stands. It was said that up to about eighty years ago it stood at a rath near by known as the rath Feerwore. Some years ago Patrick Lyons who had been employed by the late Mr Dolphin of Turoe for 40 years a herd pointed out the exact spot was about 10 yards to the west of the rath called Feerwore where the stone once stood. Excavation were made there and some animal remains together with a cist were found. The contents of the cist are supposed to have been human remains indicating cremation and the animal remains a funeral feast.E. J Moynihan, Bullaun, Loughrea on the 26th Nov 1937.
From Tom Lyons, grandson of the above mentioned Patrick Lyons, Bullaun age 48.
