What is recorded here
One gallaun still stands in boggy Iveragh pasture, though two stones appeared on the oldest survey and the second has vanished without explanation. The remaining slab is broad, low and slightly hunched, rising 1.54 metres from a base 1.77 metres across. It may have marked a boundary, a memory, a route or a ritual place, but with its partner gone the original intention has become unreadable.
In pasture overlooking Ihernagh River to SE. Stone is fallen (L 2m; 1.1m; 0.4m). Standing stone (CO121-046001-) 22m to NNW.
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.
