What is recorded here

Gallauns is an anomalous stone group in County Cork, Ireland. Two low stones stand at right angles on a west-facing pasture slope, while a third stone lies prostrate to the east. The arrangement seems deliberate rather than random, as if someone marked a corner, a boundary or a forgotten ritual spot before the land was grazed smooth.

In pasture on W-facing slope to E of standing stone (CO093-02701-). Two low stones at right angles to each other. Southernmost stone; rectangular plan with long axis E-W (H 0.46m; 0.59 x 0.3m). Second stone set at right angles to first with long axis N-S (H 0.39m; 0.8m x 0.3m). Prostrate third stone to E of first. 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. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009
