What is recorded here

Gallaun is a 3.43 metre standing stone at Glanleam, County Kerry, trapped inside a much younger earthwork called Cromwell's Fort. The prehistoric upright predates the fort by millennia, creating a layered collision where ancient stone accepts a later boundary without explanation. A leaning slab and packing stones suggest someone steadied it after it began to shake, yet it still stands at the foot of a slope hidden by overgrowth.

At foot of SSW-facing slope. Site not located due to heavy overgrowth. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 1: West Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1992). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009
