What is recorded here

Galláin is a subrectangular standing stone in County Cork, Ireland, rising 0.9m above rough grazing on a SW-facing slope. It sits 45m SE of another standing stone, its long axis pointing WNW-ESE. The place escaped the 1842 and 1904 OS 6-inch maps, hiding in plain sight among grass and slope. Someone may have set it there to mark a boundary, a memory or a direction, but no name or date has survived to confirm the purpose.
