The operative word is "was": when surveyors went looking for it, it could not be found. That absence is, in its own way, as interesting as the stone itself would have been.

The stone was associated with a place known as Lios na Ceallúnaí, a large oval enclosure whose origins are genuinely ambiguous. It may have begun as a rath, the circular or oval earthwork enclosure typically built around an early medieval farmstead, or it may have been an early ecclesiastical settlement. At some point, part of the enclosure was put to use as a calluragh, a burial ground associated with unbaptised children or others excluded from consecrated ground, a category of liminal space found across Ireland and rooted in older attitudes about spiritual status and the boundaries of the Christian community. A writer named Ashe, cited in mid-twentieth-century sources, recorded the coffin-shaped stone standing at the edge of this burial area, inscribed with its pair of crosses. By the time of the Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey published by J. Cuppage in 1986, the stone had already disappeared from view, its location unverified. Whether it was removed, buried, or simply overlooked in the landscape remains unclear.
