What is recorded here

Gallán is a standing stone in County Cork, Ireland. The subrectangular stone rises 1.2m and measures 0.85m by 0.3m, with its long axis pointing northeast to southwest. It stands in tillage on level ground, where ordinary farm life has likely passed it for generations. People may have marked time, claimed boundaries or simply remembered the place through that stone.
