Standing stone

What is recorded here

Gallaun is a lost standing stone inside a Kerry rath, recorded only in survey lists and absent from the land. It may have marked a boundary, a burial or a warning, but no stone remains for anyone to touch or read. The earth has taken back what the list still believes it holds.
In the SE quadrant of a rath (KE058-044----). There are no visible remains of this standing stone. Compiled by: Elizabeth Byrne, Ursula Egan and Sheila Ronan, Archaeological Survey Unit, University College, Cork. Date of upload: 31 January 2011

This remains an important historical record, but the official description says the monument is no longer visible or has been destroyed. The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
