The National Monuments Service's description
In the 1940s, a stone called 'Carraig an Ghalláin [which is] over 6 feet [1.8m] high' was recorded in Edmund Nagle's land (Schools Manuscript, Co. Kerry). The precise location of this stone is not known and it may have been in that part of Gortacareen townland which is on OS 6-inch map 76.
