In the townland of Baile An Mhathamhnaigh on the Dingle Peninsula, a standing stone once rose from a south-east facing slope with a view down towards Trabeg, the small coastal inlet below. By the time anyone thought to record its absence formally, it had already been gone for decades, destroyed at some point in the latter half of the twentieth century. The Ordnance Survey maps still marked it, using the Irish term "Gallaun", the common word for a single upright standing stone, typically prehistoric in origin and often associated with burial, boundary-marking, or ritual landscape features. The stone itself, however, was no longer there.

The record of the site draws on J. Cuppage's 1986 archaeological survey of the Corca Dhuibhne region, a comprehensive study of the Dingle Peninsula that catalogued prehistoric and early historic monuments across one of the most archaeologically dense landscapes in Ireland. Local information confirmed the destruction, though the exact circumstances were not recorded. What remains is a landscape that still holds the logic of the original placement: a sloping hillside, a coastal view, the kind of position that prehistoric communities seem to have favoured repeatedly when erecting these stones. The monument is gone, but the setting still carries the geometry of an ancient decision.
