What is recorded here

Gallán is a rectangular standing stone in County Cork, Ireland, rising 2.26m on an east-facing pasture slope. It faces north-south with packing stones exposed at its base and striations marking the north edge. Another similar stone stands 120m south, suggesting a paired arrangement rather than a lone marker. The clear shape, deliberate placement and repeated form point to a human act of recognition, measurement or ceremony on open ground.
