Standing stones are among the most common prehistoric monuments in Ireland, single upright slabs erected anywhere from the Bronze Age onward, their original purposes debated and mostly irrecoverable. What makes this one worth pausing over is not its age or its size but a small, mundane displacement: at some point after it was first recorded in 1993, the field in which it stood was reclaimed for pasture, and the stone was simply moved, shifted roughly twenty metres to the southwest and re-set at the southern field boundary.

That kind of relocation is more common than people might expect. Agricultural improvement has always exerted pressure on ancient monuments, and a stone that inconveniences a plough or a fence line has often been nudged aside or removed entirely. Here, at least, it survived. The reclamation work on these south-facing slopes above Berehaven Harbour presumably brought the land back into productive use, and whoever was responsible saw fit to keep the stone rather than bury or discard it. The result is a slight archaeological peculiarity: the recorded site and the stone's current position are two distinct places, separated by a short distance but a meaningful distinction for anyone trying to read the landscape as it once was.
