What is recorded here

Marked only on the 1940 ed. of the OS 6 inch map where it is described as a ‘Gallán’. It is situated in a low-lying landscape just on the S side of an E-W road but its precise location is not known. It has been removed but a photograph (St Peter's Annual 1917, 31) shows a large standing stone that is narrower at the base than c. 1m over the ground. Measurements taken in 1940 are ‘2 feet 6 inches by 3 feet at the base (dims 0.75m x 0.9m), 2 feet 9 inches by 2 feet 6 inches (0.85m x 0.75m) at the top and 6 feet, 6 inches high (H c. 2m)’ OSFM). 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. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload/revision: 16 October, 2013

This remains an important historical record, but the official description says the monument is no longer visible or has been destroyed. The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
