What is recorded here

Gallaun is a 3.43 metre standing stone in Glanleam, County Kerry, still upright inside the later earthwork called Cromwell's Fort. The fort may have been built around the older stone or simply beside it, giving the place a layered identity that spans millennia. A leaning slab and packing stones suggest people worked to keep it secure after it began to loosen, while the view stretches south-east toward The Paps of Dana.

In level pasture, with views SE to The Paps of Dana. An upright stone, named 'Gallaun' is indicated here on the 1846 OS 6-inch map. There are no visible remains of this stone.
