The National Monuments Service's description
In 1943, two 'gallans' were recorded 'on the lands of Mr Michael Cronin, Cloghaneanua' (ITA). 'They stand in the centre of the field and the East stone measures 3ft by 1ft by 9ins [0.91m x 0.3m x 0.22m], and the West stone, 18 inches [c. 0.45m] away measures 11/2ft by 1ft [0.45m x 0.3m] (ibid.). The exact location of this possible standing stone-pair is not known. A standing stone (KE097-047001-) and another possible standing stone-pair (KE097-047002-) were also recorded on Michael Cronin's land (ITA), two fields to the NW of this pair and they also remain unlocated.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Kerry. Volume I: South-West Kerry' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
