Abstract: A pseudo-hyperoval of a projective space $PG(3n-1,q)$, $q$ even, is a set of $q^n+2$ subspaces of dimension $n-1$ such that any three span the whole space. We prove that a pseudo-hyperoval with an irreducible transitive stabiliser is elementary. We then deduce from this result a classification of the thick generalised quadrangles $mathcalQ$ that admit a point-primitive, line-transitive automorphism group with a point-regular abelian normal subgroup. Specifically, we show that $mathcalQ$ is flag-transitive and isomorphic to $T_2^{\ast }(mathcalH)$, where $mathcalH$ is either the regular hyperoval of $PG(2,4)$ or the Lunelli--Sce hyperoval of $PG(2,16)$.
