What is recorded here

Gallauns is a standing stone in County Cork, Ireland. A rectangular stone rises 1.8m within a field fence, while four boulders mark a quiet line nearby. The largest boulder rests on a single support stone, as if placed there rather than fallen. Pasture and open views surround the stones, making the site feel both ordinary and deliberate.

Four boulders arranged in a straight line running NNE-WSW lie 6m to NNW; the largest (H 0.85m; 1.6m x 1m) rests on a single support stone.
