A report made following a 1933 visit to Castle Howe (contained in the National Monument Record) indicates that part of Castle Howe may be prehistoric: The lower chamber appears to be prehistoric, its walls survive to a height of 5ft. 3 ins; the stairs may be original..." A similar report following a visit to the site in 1964 makes no attempt to date the site. There is no certainty as to the age of this monument, but the NMR implies that part of it may date back to the Iron Age.

Disputed Antiquity:
The Coflein record for this site says it is situated on an outcrop, and is "probably a collapsed megalithic burial chamber, but may be a natural feature."

Disputed Antiquity
Men Scryfa is a scheduled monument because it is considered to be a good example of an early medieval memorial stone. However English Heritage's Record does add "It has been suggested that this memorial stone may be a reused standing stone as the early Christians often took over previously venerated stones and marked them with crosses."

Disputed Antiquity
The National Monument Record describes the inscribed stone as 'Early Medieval'. The dating of the stone row is very vague and open to interpretation.

Disputed Antiquity
The Coflein record describes the stone as follows, and suggests it is post medieval in date:A lamp standard and mile post some 18 inches wide at the base and standing some ten feet high. It bears the date 1770, which is the date that it was probably first used as a mile stone.

Disputed Antiquity
The National Monument Record (NMR) includes the following comment made after an Ordnance Survey visit to the site in 1966:This isolated stone is as described above. Its name is not known locally and there is nothing to suggest that it is an antiquity. This is not contradicted by any other information in the NMR (as available on-line at the time of writing).
