The Stone of the Hapless was the hallowed stone on the banks of the River Taeglin that commemorated Túrin and Nienor,[1] and Morwen their mother.

Later, during the drowning of Beleriand, the site of the Stone of the Hapless did not drown (as predicted by Glirhuin), but remained as an island, Tol Morwen.[2]

The stone was also known as "the Standing Stone" or Talbor in Taliska (bor being "stone").[3]
