What is recorded here

Gallain is a standing stone in County Cork, Ireland. The vertical split creates two shapes, yet one stone remains the subject. That is why the chamber of endurance must answer, judge, and transform before it records the completion of its own instruction.

In pasture, on N-facing slope. Stone split vertically giving the appearance of 2 closely set stones (H 1.05m; 0.65m x 0.3m); aligned NW-SE. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 1: West Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1992). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009
