What is recorded here

Gallaun is a 3.43 metre stone standing inside Cromwell's Fort on the Iveragh Peninsula, where prehistoric depth and later military history collide in one tight corner of Kerry pasture. Packing stones still hold its base, and a leaning slab may answer Chatterton's 1839 claim that it shook easily, yet it has remained upright through centuries of weather, forgetting and renewed attention. The fort did not merely occupy land; it absorbed an older marker, forcing every later visitor to ask whether human ambition builds around what already stands or simply covers it.

In level pasture, to the E of Killarney town. There are no visible remains of this stone. Compiled by: Elizabeth Byrne, Ursula Egan and Sheila Ronan, Archaeological Survey Unit, University College, Cork. Date of upload: 31 January 2011
