No trace of it remains in the landscape, yet it was once carefully documented and illustrated, which means it was genuinely there, and then, at some point between the mid-eighteenth century and the present, it disappeared entirely.

The record of it comes from Thomas Wright, who described and illustrated the monument in his 1758 work Louthiana: or an introduction to the antiquities of Ireland, published in London by Thomas Payne. Wright noted a circle of five large stones, and included a plate identifying it as Site A in his survey of the area. Stone circles in Ireland generally date from the Bronze Age, erected for purposes that remain debated, though they are widely understood to have held ceremonial or calendrical significance for the communities that built them. Wright's Louthiana was one of the earlier systematic attempts to catalogue Irish antiquities, and the fact that he thought this particular arrangement of stones worth illustrating suggests it was reasonably legible as a monument at the time of his visit. What happened to it afterwards is unrecorded. The stones may have been cleared for agriculture, broken up for building material, or simply absorbed into field boundaries over the centuries, as happened to countless such monuments across the island.
