Sitting in it, so the belief went, would cure lumbago. That combination, a prehistoric monument repurposed in folk memory as a remedy for lower back pain, is the kind of detail that tends not to survive in the documentary record unless someone thought to write it down.

The site appears on the 1916 edition of the Ordnance Survey six-inch map under the townland name Kilmore, simply marked as 'Carns', a placename that at least preserves the memory of what stood there. By 1996 it had been listed only as a potential site, meaning the name itself was the primary evidence rather than anything physically confirmed on the ground. Local accounts collected more recently suggest the cairns were knocked down some time ago and have since been swallowed by the gorse and bramble that covers the marshy pasture along the northern shore of Lough Fergus. Scattered spreads of boulders are visible among the vegetation, though these appear to be natural rather than structural remains. There are no visible surface traces of any built cairn surviving today.

What remains, then, is largely a placename and a story. The therapeutic chair and its reputation for curing lumbago belong to a broader tradition of curative power being attached to ancient stones across Ireland, a tradition that often outlasted any understanding of what the original monument actually was. In this case, even the monument itself is gone, absorbed back into the boggy ground beside a lake that is itself only partially there.
