Or at least ceased to be findable. The six-inch OS maps place it in two slightly different locations across their successive editions, first in a field fence to the west of St Broghan's stone, then closer to that same stone in a later survey. At neither spot is anything now visible.

The cairn's close neighbour, St Broghan's stone, is itself an unusual feature of this flat midland landscape, a standing stone associated with the early Irish saint Brochan. Writing in 1883, the historian Comerford noted the cairn sitting beside it but raised a cautious flag: the structure was, in his view, possibly of recent origin rather than an ancient monument. That single qualifier shifts the whole story. A cairn of genuinely prehistoric character would be remarkable; one raised in the post-medieval period, perhaps to mark a boundary or simply to dispose of field clearance stones, would be far more ordinary, and yet the ambiguity was enough to earn it a place on the map. It has since slipped out of the landscape entirely, leaving only the cartographic trace and Comerford's brief, equivocal note behind.
