What is recorded here

This site is located in poorly drained pasture on the NE slopes of Keelnagore, overlooking an extensive tract of bog to N. A large squat standing stone, partly incorporated into a field boundary, stands 2.1m high and measures 1.4m x 1.1m at base; NNE-SSW. Its sides gradually taper towards a flat top. Leaning against it at S is a stone which measures 2.7m long and averages .59m wide and .28m thick. Only one 'Gallaun' is indicated on the OS maps. 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. 127. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 28 July 2013
