What is recorded here

Gallaun is a tall standing stone in County Kerry, Ireland. It stands inside a later earthwork called Cromwell's Fort, creating a strange layer where ancient stone meets a younger boundary. The stone reaches 3.43 metres, leans slightly in memory of age, and still faces the sky after centuries of rain, pasture and forgotten hands.

In pasture, on the lower W-facing slopes of Knockowen. This standing stone (0.79m x 0.46m; H 1.38m) is rectangular in plan and is orientated NNE-SSW. A cairn (KE109-014011-) lies c. 6m to the SE. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Kerry. Volume I: South-West Kerry' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 30 May 2011
