The National Monuments Service's description
There is no visible trace of this standing stone, marked as ‘Gallaun’ on the OS maps. It was located on a small terrace, E of a slight rise called ‘Knockaunbane’ and almost 120m N of a stone row (KE091-015003-). It is noted in the OSNB as ‘another Gullane and a small grave close to it’ (Templeno, 25). Immediately at W is a levelled univallate enclosure (KE091-111----).
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. 239. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
