According to an 1835 entry in the OS Name Book for All Saints parish, locals believed these "remarkable stones" to be Druidical remains, though their true nature remains a mystery. The stones appeared on the original OS 6-inch Fair Plan map from the same year, marked with the special typeface reserved for antiquarian features, suggesting the surveyors initially considered them historically significant.

However, something changed between the draft and final publication of the map. While the stones were still marked on the published version, they no longer bore the antiquarian typeface, indicating the mapmakers had second thoughts about their ancient origins. By the time later editions of the OS 6-inch maps were produced, the stones had vanished from the record entirely. Whether they were removed, buried, or simply deemed unworthy of documentation, we may never know.

Today, nothing remains at the site in Kildrum Lower, which sits in the basin of the River Foyle. The stones have left no trace on the landscape, and their original purpose; whether they were indeed ancient monuments, natural formations, or something else entirely; has been lost to time. This enigmatic feature serves as a reminder of how many potential archaeological sites have disappeared from the Irish countryside, taking their stories with them.
