What is recorded here

Galláin is a one-metre standing stone in County Cork pasture, leaning slightly on a SW-facing slope beside a similar stone thirteen metres to the southeast. It is not a grand monument, but a small marked place: a line of sight, a boundary, a meeting point, or a reminder left where people could still see it across the grass. Further northeast another stone stands about eighty metres away, suggesting this was never an isolated oddity but part of a quieter landscape of markers.

In pasture, on SW-facing slope, standing parallel to and 13m NW of similar standing stone (CO070-019001-). Stone (H 1m; 1.35m x 0.35m) is subrectangular in plan, long axis NE-SW.
