Gallauns

In level pasture, on the valley floor of the Glanmore River and overlooked by mountains. This megalithic structure consists of three slabs (Slab 1: 2.24m x 1.26m; T 0.27m; Slab 2: 1.82m x 1.78m; T 0.16m; Slab 3: 1.26m x 0.87m; T 0.3m) which are at right angles to each other. The slabs lean against each other and against a smaller slab (1.25m x 1m; T 0.24m) which lies almost prostrate on the ground beneath. Another slab (1.35m x 0.4m) lies prostrate and partially hidden by gorse-covered sod, 0.45m to the NW. Miscellaneous smaller stones are scattered and embedded in the immediate area. A standing stone (KE111-006002-) lies c. 2.5m to the SE. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Kerry. Volume I: South-West Kerry' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 30 May 2011
