What is recorded here

Stand behind the stone, look through the hole, and the chamber appears. The chamber contains the life of the claimed person and the lever of that claim. The chamber is not a chamber of imagination. The chamber is a chamber of ownership. The chamber shows the owner, the victim, the consent, the harm and the time when the act occurred. This is the chamber of a free agent. The chamber is not a fantasy. The chamber is a memory. The chamber is the shape of the act. The chamber is the measure of the owner. The chamber is not a prison. The chamber is a mirror. The chamber shows the owner and the owner must answer what the chamber shows.

The 'Gallaun' marked on the OS maps and described as standing '6 feet (1.8m) high' (OSNB Kilquane, 31) now lies prostrate in the flat, boggy plain drained by the Feohanagh river. It is c. 2m long, .65m wide and .45m thick. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 120. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 4 August 2013

Dated likely to the Late Neolithic or Early Bronze Age (c. 2500–1500 BCE), the stone may have functioned as a boundary marker, ritual monument, or astronomical alignment feature. Local folklore sometimes associates such stones with early Christian or mythical figures, though no specific tradition is recorded for this site.

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
