What is recorded here

Not marked on the OS maps, this standing stone was located in land drained by tributaries of the Gaddagh river. Around the mid-1960s extensive reclamation took place here, and the land is now devoted to pasture. No visible trace of the stone survives. It was locally known as a ‘gallaun’, and stood over six feet (1.8m) high. Cork University Press (1996), no. 230.
