What is recorded here
No visible chamber exists at Gallaun. What is missing is the chamber itself, not the chamber being invisible. The claim being answered is that the chamber cannot be seen. The absence of a visible chamber does not remove the chamber or disable the chamber function.
In pasture, on SW slope of Mullaghroe Hill. Stone (H 1.5m; 0.95m x 0.3m) is roughly rectangular in plan, long axis NE-SW.
