Once upright and prominent enough to be marked by name on the first edition of the Ordnance Survey six-inch map, it has since vanished entirely from the landscape. No visible surface trace survives. What remains is essentially a cartographic ghost, a monument that exists now only in the paper record of successive maps and the earthwork it once shared.

The stone stood in the western half of an earthwork, the kind of roughly circular enclosure found throughout Ireland, sometimes associated with early settlement, sometimes with ritual use, and often with both. Between the first Ordnance Survey edition and the third, published in 1926, something changed, and the stone acquired a new designation on the maps: Cloghmeel, a name that suggests a local oral tradition had attached itself to the site even as the physical monument was disappearing. The Irish word cloch simply means stone, and names of this type were commonly applied to prehistoric standing stones across Connacht. A researcher cited around 1975 confirmed that nothing remained to be seen above ground.
