Today, no trace remains of this ancient marker on what is now good farmland, its existence preserved only in historical records and archaeological surveys.

The area holds considerable archaeological significance as part of the Kilmonaster Passage Tomb cemetery complex. In 2005, pre-development testing was conducted here when a local farmer planned to build agricultural structures including a silage pit and cattle shed. Archaeological excavations, carried out under licence by Richard Crumlish, revealed little of note beyond modern pottery sherds and a single worked flint found in the topsoil. The test trenches, measuring up to 36 metres in length, uncovered layers of fill, silt loam, and sand above the bedrock, with some animal bones from buried livestock confirming the landowner’s recollection of the field boundary being used for animal burials in the past.

The proximity to a passage tomb, just five metres from the proposed development, underscores the archaeological sensitivity of this landscape. Whilst the standing stone itself has long since disappeared, its former presence adds another layer to the rich prehistoric heritage of Kilmonaster, where Neolithic communities once erected monuments that have endured, in various states of preservation, for thousands of years. The worked flint discovered during testing serves as a small reminder of the ancient peoples who once moved through this landscape, leaving behind both monumental structures and everyday tools.
