Rather than a monument confirmed and catalogued, what remains is a question mark, a place that was formally recorded and then, in effect, formally doubted.

The site appeared as a quarry in the Sites and Monuments Record of 1988 and again in the Record of Monuments and Places of 1998. These registers were compiled to identify locations of archaeological significance across Ireland, and inclusion in them carries a degree of legal protection. Yet the assessment of this particular entry concluded that the available evidence was not sufficient to warrant accepting it as the location of an archaeological monument. In plain terms, it was listed, then found wanting. Whether the original designation was based on misidentified earthworks, an ambiguous feature in the landscape, or simply incomplete field information is not clear.
