This is one of five individual standing stones that are described in the 'Archaeological Inventory of Co. Cork - vol. 3 Mid-Cork' under the entry no. 6573. This unlocated stone is mentioned as D in the entry which reads as follows: 'Three standing stones depicted on 1842 OS 6-inch map c. 100m SW of stone row (6505) and stone circle (CO059-01502-). Each stone individually named 'Gallaun' and c. 40-45m apart. They stand in N-S line with southern-most stone lying slightly to SW; this stone is not shown on later eds of OS 6-inch maps. Conlon (1918, 136) describes five stones here, three (A, B, and C) forming 'the apices of an equilateral triangle' c. 58 yds apart (A: H 7ft 1in; 1ft 1in x 8in: B: H 6ft; 2ft 3in x 1ft 9in: C: H 5ft; 2ft 8in x 2in).
