Some Irish stone rows have been dismissed as prehistoric. With these it is believed that they were uprights in more recent dry stone walls from which the intervening stones have been robbed away.

How they know that the row wasn't there before and used to create a later wall without excavating is beyond me, though.

I hadnt heard of that before Tom, any examples?

Two that spring to mind are in Wicklow and Carlow. I can't recall the townlands offhand and there are a couple in the west.

Personally, I don't accept it for the Carlow one (I've been to it, but it's not on megalithomania).
