The National Monuments Service's description
Three standing stones depicted on 1842 OS 6-inch map c. 100m SW of stone row (6505) and stone circle (CO059-015002-). 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 7ft1in; 1ft 1in x 8in: B: H 6ft; 2ft 3in x 1ft 9in: C: H5ft; 2ft 8in x 2in). Another two stone (D and E) c. 150 yds to S stood 2ft 3in apart. (D: H 4ft 8in; 2ft 4in x 8in; E: H 1ft 5in; 1ft 3in x 3in). All stones removed.
