The standing stone appeared on the first edition of the Ordnance Survey 6-inch map, marking its presence as part of the archaeological landscape of this corner of Ireland. Today, however, visitors to the hill will find no remnant of this prehistoric monument; time, weather, or human intervention has erased it from the physical landscape, leaving only its cartographic ghost on old maps.

The loss of this standing stone represents a small but significant erasure in Donegal's archaeological record. These solitary stones, erected by prehistoric communities across Ireland, served various purposes; some marked burial sites, others delineated territorial boundaries, and many likely held ritual or ceremonial significance we can only guess at today. The Tullycleave More stone would have been part of this ancient tradition, standing sentinel on the hillside for potentially thousands of years before meeting its unknown fate.

This information comes from the comprehensive Archaeological Survey of County Donegal, compiled in 1983 by Brian Lacey and his team of researchers. Their meticulous work documented field antiquities spanning from the Mesolithic period through to the 17th century, preserving records of monuments like the Tullycleave standing stone that might otherwise be completely forgotten. While the physical stone may be lost, its memory persists in these archaeological surveys, reminding us of the fragility of our ancient heritage and the importance of documenting these sites whilst we still can.
