That ambiguity is, in itself, the most interesting thing about it. The stone was recorded in 1884 by G.H. Kinahan, who described it as a large flattish block bearing numerous cup marks, the shallow circular depressions pecked into rock surfaces that appear across prehistoric Europe and are among the oldest forms of deliberate human mark-making in Ireland, along with what he called a wide gash. It was catalogued as stone J, suggesting it was one of several recorded in the area. More than a century later, when the site was revisited in 1990, the stone could not be found.

Kinahan's 1884 account is the only description on record. Whether the stone has since been buried, moved, broken up, or was simply difficult to locate with precision using the coordinates available is not known. Rock art of this type tends to survive best on exposed or semi-exposed outcrops, and stones in agricultural landscapes can disappear beneath soil accumulation, field clearance, or construction over the course of a century with very little trace. The gap between Kinahan's visit and the 1990 inspection is long enough for almost any outcome to seem plausible. What remains is a description, a grid reference that led nowhere, and a name on a list of unverified sites.
