Though no trace of a standing stone appears on the 2nd edition Ordnance Survey 6-inch map, the area holds archaeological interest with three standing stones and a cist grave scattered across what is now good pasture land. These monuments, documented in the Archaeological Survey of County Donegal compiled in 1983, represent millennia of human activity in this corner of northwest Ireland.

The site gained renewed archaeological attention in 2005 when plans for a new sewage treatment facility just off the Ballybofey to Lifford road prompted an investigation. Christopher Read of North West Archaeological Services conducted test excavations under licence 05E0749 in July of that year, with the cist grave being the closest ancient monument to the proposed development area. Nine test trenches, measuring 1.8 metres wide and excavated to depths of 0.4 to 0.5 metres, were dug across the site; five stretched 20 metres long whilst four extended to 50 metres.

Despite the proximity to known archaeological features, the excavations revealed no evidence of ancient activity within the development area itself. All nine trenches showed similar soil contexts with no artefacts or structures of archaeological significance, clearing the way for the modern infrastructure project whilst preserving the nearby prehistoric monuments that continue to stand sentinel over the River Finn valley.
