It is a peculiarly common fate for such monuments, and one that does nothing to diminish the questions they leave behind. By 1987, when someone went to look for it, there was nothing to see at ground level, the field having swallowed whatever remained.

The stone appears on the 1940 edition of the Ordnance Survey six-inch maps, which suggests it was still a presence in the landscape within living memory of its disappearance. A field survey in 1939 recorded it as a rectangular block, modest in scale, with a base measuring roughly 0.6 metres by 0.5 metres and a height of about one metre. Standing stones, raised in the landscape during prehistoric times, served purposes that remain largely a matter of debate, whether as territorial markers, ritual focal points, or elements of a broader ceremonial landscape. This one sat towards the bottom of a south-west facing slope, with a stream running north to south around ninety metres to the west. That kind of positioning, near water and on sloping ground, is not unusual for such monuments. What is notable is that a possible megalithic structure, the term referring broadly to any large-stone construction from prehistoric times, lies roughly 300 metres to the north-east, hinting that this part of County Wexford may once have held a more extensive arrangement of prehistoric features than the current empty field suggests.
