The records say so. But when surveyors visited Drombohilly, they found nothing, not a stone, not a stump, not a socket in the ground. The site exists as a place on a map and a line in an archive, and as little else.

The stone appears in the Sites and Monuments Record, the national inventory of archaeological sites across Ireland, attributed to a source identified only as 'AP and Brendan Ó Ciobháin'. Standing stones are among the most common prehistoric monument types in Kerry, typically dating from the Bronze Age and thought to have served as boundary markers, ritual focal points, or memorials, though their precise purpose is rarely certain. Whether the stone at Drombohilly was removed long ago, was perhaps never correctly located in the first place, or simply fell and was absorbed into the landscape, nobody can say with confidence. The absence of any visible remains was noted but not explained.
