What is recorded here

Three metres of ancient stone still stands inside Cromwell's Fort on the Iveragh Peninsula, forcing a later military boundary to acknowledge a much older presence. Packing stones and a leaning slab hold it upright despite Chatterton finding it easily shaken in 1839, while pasture and a view toward Mangerton Mountain surround the layered site. The fort may have claimed the place, but the gallaun outlived every human boundary drawn around it.

In undulating pasture, on top of a rise with views SW to Mangerton Mountain. The stone (dims. 1.35m x 0.78m; H 1.92m), orientated NNE-SSW is roughly rectangular in plan and has a rounded top.
