What is recorded here

Gallan is a vanished standing stone in County Cork, Ireland. Ó Ríordáin called it a large boulder in 1931, but that certainty has not survived the years. The SW-facing slope may still hold its shadow, even though no human eye can now find the stone that broke the sky.

In pasture on SW-facing slope. No visible surface trace. Ó Ríordáin (1931, 59) refers to it as 'a large boulder'. 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
