Standing stone in Coars

Standing stone

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

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.
