Located in boggy pasture S of the Derreendarragh river, this heavy block-like stone stands 1.95m high and measures 1.32m wide and 1.1m thick at base; NW-SE. Part of its S face has spalled away relatively recently, the debris from it lying scattered near its base. The above description is derived from A. O'Sullivan and J.

Likely dating to the Bronze Age, the Gallaun, Maulnagower standing stone may have functioned as a territorial marker or ceremonial monument. Its alignment and positioning suggest possible ritual or astronomical significance, though specific folklore or use remains unrecorded.
