What is recorded here

In pasture, on a small rise, on a NE-facing slope. In the 1940s 'two gallauns about 5 ft [1.52m] high and facing each other' were recorded on Mr J.D. Lyne's land (ITA). There are no visible remains of these stones. According to local information, field clearance works were carried out here in the mid-1990s and stones were deposited in the field to the NE. Immediately to the N some stones are visible, protruding slightly above the ground surface.

From the National Monuments Service (Archaeological Survey of Ireland) record KE075-008
