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. 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. 230. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 28 July 2013

Likely dating to the late Neolithic or Bronze Age, this standing stone may have served as a boundary marker, ritual site, or astronomical alignment point. No specific folklore or detailed local tradition is recorded for the site.

This remains an important historical record, but the official description says the monument is no longer visible or has been destroyed. The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
