The National Monuments Service's description
National Monument No. 380. Located 13.4m ENE of the boulder-burial is a stout pillar (KE098-030002-) of regular elevation, marked 'Gallaun' on the OS maps. Its NE side displays a sharp inturn 1.45m up from its base, where it measures 1.05m x .8m; ENE-WSW. The stone stands 2.4m high and a number of packing stones are exposed at its base (Ó Nualláin 1978, 98).
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. 378. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
