Gallan

Marked on the 1839 and 1940 eds of the OS 6-inch map, where it is described as a stone on the earlier map and as a Gallan in gothic script on the latter. It is situated on a level landscape. This is a granite stone oriented NE-SW with a subrectangular cross-section (dims of base 0.9 1.45m NE-SW; 0.75 1.2m NW-SE; H 2.7m) The top is leaning slightly to the NE. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Wexford' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1996). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 11 October, 2013 Compiled by: Michael Moore
