The National Monuments Service's description
Not marked on the OS maps, this standing stone was located in land drained by tributaries of the Gaddagh river. Around the mid-1960s extensive reclamation took place here, and the land is now devoted to pasture. No visible trace of the stone survives. It was locally known as a ‘gallaun’, and stood over six feet (1.8m) high.
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. 230. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
