Gallaun

Two stones, one prostrate, are situated close to a modern field boundary on a SE slope of Bentee mountain. A slender block, heavily inclined towards SE, stands 1.95m high and is orientated NE-SW on its longer axis; .55m x .45m. Prostrate at its base at W, and partly concealed in the ground, is the second stone which measures c. 3.4m long and .55m wide at its S end (Ó Nualláin 1988, 253). Only one 'Gallaun' is indicated on the OS maps. The above description is derived from A. O'Sullivan and J. Sheehan (compilers), 'The Iveragh peninsula: an archaeological survey of South Kerry'. Cork University Press (1996), no. 117. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 28 July 2013
