What is recorded here

Gallán stood in Cork pasture until field clearance removed it around 1966, joining a second possible stone nearby. Its disappearance feels like a small violence, as if the land forgot one of its own markers. What remains is a hole in the landscape, waiting for someone to point at empty grass and call it memory.

In pasture. Removed c. 1966 due to field clearance. Second possible standing stone (CO062-076----) c. 100m to NE, in same field.

Likely dating to the Neolithic or Early Bronze Age, the stone may have been part of a ritual or territorial boundary marker. Local folklore or specific meaning is not recorded.
