They are labelled as Station Monuments, a term referring to fixed points used in patterns of ritual circumambulation, where devotees would move between prescribed stops, or stations, reciting prayers as part of a penitential or devotional circuit. Such stations were typically associated with early Christian sites, and these two lay around 410 metres to the north-east of the monastic enclosure at Drumacoo, close enough to suggest they formed part of the same devotional landscape. The northern of the pair is the subject of this record.

By the time McCaffrey surveyed the area in 1952, nothing remained above ground. The monuments had already vanished from the surface, leaving only their cartographic ghost on the mid-nineteenth-century map. Whether they were standing stones, marked boulders, or some other physical form is not recorded; only their positions survive, captured at a moment when they were presumably still legible to local memory if not entirely intact. The 1838 map itself is a significant document in Irish archaeological history, compiled during the first systematic Ordnance Survey of Ireland and often preserving names and features that had disappeared or were soon to disappear from the physical landscape. That these two stations were recorded at all suggests they retained some meaning or visibility at that point, even if the decades that followed were less kind to them.
