It no longer does. Around 1965, the stone was removed, leaving behind one of those quiet absences in the Irish landscape that are easy to walk past without ever knowing something was there.

Standing stones are among the more enigmatic survivals of prehistoric Ireland. Erected singly or in small groupings, often on elevated or visually prominent ground, their original purpose remains genuinely uncertain; theories range from ritual or ceremonial use to territorial marking or astronomical alignment. The Kilmoney example followed the pattern closely. Its position on a slope with a commanding view over the Owenboy valley and its estuary suggests it was not placed casually. The earliest published reference to it appears in a 1919 account by O'Leary, which at least confirms it was still standing in the early twentieth century. Sometime around the mid-1960s, it was taken down, the reasons unrecorded.
