What is recorded here

Gallán is a broken Ogham stone from Lisagallaun ringfort in County Cork, Ireland. A very tall stone was removed, broken into pieces, and reused as a farmyard workbench and a haggard gatepost before the gatepost itself was scattered. Macalister extracted SECIDARI from its worn edge, preserving a name that ordinary sight would have lost.

According to Macalister (1945, 128-9), a 'very tall stone' was removed from the NW quadrant of a ringfort called Lisagallaun (CO040-053001-) and broken into a number of pieces; one part was used as a workbench in a nearby farmyard, a second was 'erected as a gatepost to the haggard' (ibid.). This stone (1.8m; 0.75mx 0.25m) had, according to Macalister (ibid.), 'traces of a very worn inscription on the dexter edge; out of this, after prolonged study, I succeeded in extracting a reading SECIDARI'. The gatepost is now broken up and the pieces scattered. (Power et al. 1997, no. 6914) Compiled by: Nora White Date of upload: 17 January 2016
