In level pasture in Tullig, County Kerry, there once stood a gallaun, the Irish term for a single standing stone, typically a tall upright megalith of prehistoric origin. It appears on the 1846 Ordnance Survey six-inch map, carefully noted and named, which tells us that local knowledge of it was firm enough at the time of the survey to be committed to the official record. Today, no visible trace of the stone remains.

The location carries its own quiet significance. The field lies within sight of The Paps of Dana to the south-east, the distinctive twin-peaked hills in the Derrynasaggart Mountains that take their name from Danu, the mother goddess of the Tuatha Dé Danann in Irish mythology. Whether the gallaun was ever orientated toward or positioned in deliberate relationship with those hills is unknown, but it would not be unusual. Standing stones across Ireland frequently appear in landscapes already laden with mythological or ceremonial meaning, and sightlines to prominent natural features are a common characteristic of prehistoric monuments in the region. What caused this particular stone to disappear, whether it was removed for building material, buried during land improvement, or simply toppled and absorbed into the ground, the record does not say.
