The White Stones are no longer visible. The ground has closed over them, or they have been removed, and what remains is largely a cartographic memory.

When the Ordnance Survey teams were compiling their Name Books for Clontibret Parish in 1835, they recorded the site as a arrangement of oblong upright stones similar to a nearby cashel, though here the term refers to a court-tomb, a Neolithic megalithic monument in which a roofless forecourt typically opened onto one or more burial chambers. The OS Fair Plan, a detailed working map produced during the same survey period, depicted the White Stones as a semi-circle of standing stones with three further stones placed tangentially at the midpoint of the curve. That configuration, if accurately recorded, would have been an unusual and distinctive one. Whether the stones were the remnants of a prehistoric monument, a later enclosure, or something else entirely, no subsequent investigation appears to have resolved the question, and at some point between 1835 and the present the physical evidence disappeared altogether from the surface of the field.
