The 'Gallaun' marked on the OS maps, c. 450m SW of KE044-013----, no longer survives. It was '7 feet (2.1m) high'(OSM). At approximately the same location there is a long, low and densely overgrown mound of earth and stones, with several large, possible kerb stones along the perimeter. It measures at least 14m E-W, and is 10m wide and .8m high at the W end decreasing in both width and height towards the E. A depression is visible on the upper surface. The small cairn of stones to SW of its W end may simply be the result of field clearance.
The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 149. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
