The National Monuments Service's description
This stone pair is located in flat pastureland, overlooking Rossbehy Creek to N. The larger stone, at NE, is partly incorporated into a modern field boundary. Irregular in elevation, it stands 2.85m high and measures 1.8m x .8m at base; NE-SW. The second upright, whose upper surface has recently been damaged, occurs 2.9m to SW. It measures .75m high and .6m x .55m at base; NE-SW. Only one 'Gallaun' is indicated on the OS maps.
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. 123. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
