What is recorded here

Gallaun is a standing stone in County Kerry, Ireland, at least 1.35m high and .5m wide, set into a field bank above the Ferta river. It leans slightly south in rough pasture, while another stone pair waits half a kilometre away. The land has claimed part of its shape, yet the stone still marks the slope, enduring human change and exposing how much older it is than any border drawn around it.

Situated in rough sloping pasture, just N of the Ferta river, this standing stone has been incorporated into a field bank. It is at least 1.35m high, and measures .5m wide and .15m thick; N-S. It inclines slightly to S. A standing stone pair (KE070-028----) is situated about 500m to SSW. The above description is derived from A. O'Sullivan and J. Sheehan (compilers), 'The Iveragh peninsula: an archaeological survey of South Kerry'. Cork University Press (1996), no. 136. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 28 July 2013
