Dallan is a 2.7m standing stone in County Cork, Ireland, not marked on 1842 or 1906 maps, with packing stones at its base and a NE-SW axis. It stands in pasture on a gentle slope, subrectangular and quiet. Perhaps people once gathered there before surveyors came, reading alignment or memory in its shape.
