What is recorded here

Gallaun is a 1.44m standing stone in pasture on the lower eastern slopes of Beenduff mountain, County Kerry. It leans slightly south-southeast, narrow at the base and tall enough to mark a boundary, a warning, or a promise nobody wrote down. Cattle may have walked past it for centuries, used to its shadow and shape. The stone does not need a name to be familiar, but it has one now, and that changes what it holds.

This small standing stone is located in pasture on the lower E slopes of Beenduff mountain. It is 1.44m high, and measures .84m x .19m at base; ENE-WSW. It Inclines slightly to SSE.
