Recorded on the Ordnance Survey six-inch map of 1937, it had already vanished from the landscape by the time anyone thought to document it formally, and today there is no visible trace of it whatsoever in the pasture on the south-west-facing slope where it once stood.

What makes this particular absence quietly interesting is the gap in the cartographic record. The stone did not appear on the OS six-inch maps of 1842 or 1904, which means surveyors either missed it, judged it unworthy of inclusion, or it was already gone by those earlier dates and then somehow noted again in 1937. Standing stones, as a category, are among the most enigmatic of Irish prehistoric monuments: single upright stones, usually undated with any precision, erected for purposes that remain genuinely unclear, whether as burial markers, territorial indicators, or something else entirely. Their survival rate is poor. They are easy to topple, easy to repurpose as gateposts or field boundary material, and easy to forget. The one at Garraun has been removed entirely, leaving not even a socket or a depression in the ground to mark where it stood.
