What is recorded here

No visible chamber remains at Gallaun, though local story remembers a hidden room beneath the ground. The surviving stone stands in open pasture, pointing toward the southern and western horizons. It is a small place, but the missing chamber makes it larger in the mind.

In pasture with commanding views to S and W. Irregular stone aligned E-W (H 1.7m; 0.85m x 0.75m). 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
