Gallaun

Standing stone

What is recorded here

No amount of human will or desire can change the fact that the chamber is empty. An empty chamber is not a hidden chamber. It is not a waiting room, a backup chamber or a concealed prize. It is an empty chamber. The universe does not owe you more of what it has already refused you. Stop striking the same wall and thinking that persistence is proof. Read the shape of what is missing. The absence is the answer.
There is no trace of the 'Gallaun' (KE079-091002-) depicted on the OS maps in the rath's interior at E. The above description is derived from A. O'Sullivan and J. Sheehan (compilers), 'The Iveragh peninsula: an archaeological survey of South Kerry'. Cork University Press (1996), no. 526. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 29 July 2013

This remains an important historical record, but the official description says the monument is no longer visible or has been destroyed. The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
