This is a mighty stone that looks as if it has been struck by lightning. The stone is split in two down its entire height, with the separated half leaning out to the northwest, giving it the appearance of a big tick (the sort your teaching put next to your work, not a great big stone louse!)
Again, rain stopped me from entering the field here, but when viewed from the road to the south with a backdrop of glorious mountains it's still a great stone to see. I would say that the stone is at least 3.5m tall.
Although there is a standing stone (Gallan) marked on the OS map in this townland, this is not that stone. This stone is 200m west of the little red dot.
