That much is known. Whether they still lie there, and exactly where, is considerably less certain. The site carries the designation "anomalous", a word that in archaeological classification tends to mean the evidence is real but resists easy interpretation, and the stones have never been formally relocated since they were first noted.

The record traces back to a 1984 observation by Seán Ó Nualláin, who described the feature in an appendix entry as a group of flat stones embedded in bog, possibly part of a fence or enclosure. Bog environments across Ireland have preserved all manner of structural remains, from wooden trackways to field boundaries, because the waterlogged, acidic conditions slow decay dramatically. A fence or enclosure of flat stones would suggest some form of land division or boundary-marking, though without excavation or a firm date, the period of construction remains open. The qualification "possibly" does a lot of work in that description. Ó Nualláin was careful not to overstate what he saw, and the stones have not been examined closely enough since to settle the question either way.
