That much is immediately apparent, and it shifts the atmosphere of the site considerably. What the Ordnance Survey maps mark simply as a 'Gallaun', the Irish term for a standing stone, turns out to be only half the picture: 1.6 metres to the east of the upright stone lies a massive prostrate slab, 4.5 metres long, 2 metres wide, and at least half a metre thick. The working assumption is that it once stood upright alongside its companion, which would have made for a striking pair. Now one leans into the sky while the other lies flat, as though quietly waiting.

The upright stone is substantial in its own right, rising 2.7 metres and oriented roughly east-northeast to west-southwest, which is a common alignment for prehistoric standing stones in Ireland, sometimes associated with solar or lunar sightlines, though no specific interpretation is confirmed here. The site sits on the eastern slopes of Knockavrogeen, a low hill on the Dingle Peninsula in County Kerry, overlooking the valley of the Milltown river. What makes the location particularly interesting is that it is not unique even within its immediate landscape: a comparable pair of stones stands roughly 475 metres to the north. Two pairs of stones, on the same hillside, within comfortable walking distance of each other, suggests this stretch of the peninsula carried some significance to the people who erected them, though when exactly that was, and precisely why, remains open. The site was documented by J. Cuppage in the 1986 Corca Dhuibhne archaeological survey of the Dingle Peninsula, a detailed regional study that catalogued the extraordinary concentration of prehistoric and early medieval monuments across this part of Kerry.
