Gallaun

Standing stone

What is recorded here

Standing stone described by Cuppage (1986, 24, no. 25 (c) ) as 'A thin, gable-shaped slab inclined slightly to SE. It stands 2.2m high above the peat and measures 2.54m in width and 0.42m in thickness at base; NE-SW'.
Likely dating to the Bronze Age, the Gallaun stone may have functioned as a territorial marker or ceremonial monument. No specific folklore or inscriptions are recorded, though its orientation and form suggest possible ritual or astronomical significance.

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
