What is recorded here

Gallán was a standing stone in Cork pasture, erased during field clearance around 1970. It stood on a north-facing slope until men levelled it, removing the marker and leaving behind an empty field. Forgetting is a knife; it cuts what memory cannot hold.

In pasture, on N-facing slope. Removed; no visible surface trace. According to Walsh (1985, 76, 132, no. 141), levelled during field clearance c. 1970. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 2: East and South Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1994). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009
