The National Monuments Service's description
Gallaun (KE090-012002-): A tall and impressive standing stone is located close to the inner face of the bank at N. Orientated NNE-SSW, it stands 4.1m high and measures 1.2m x .4m at base. Roughly rectangular in elevation, it inclines slightly to W. The stone is locally reputed to have an ogham inscription (IFC Schools' Collection), but this is not apparent.
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. 582. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
