What is recorded here

No visible trace survives of the 'Gallaun' marked at this location on the first edition of the OS map. A field boundary now runs across this point, and the stone may have been removed during its construction. It was situated on sloping pastureland which overlooks extensive-tracts of bog to N, and was located approximately 100m ESE of a pair of standing stones (KE080-022----). Cork University Press (1996), no. 231.

From the National Monuments Service (Archaeological Survey of Ireland) record KE080-023
