How do we know, without excavation, whether a standing stone is the real deal or just erected by a farmer as a scratching post? For much the same reasons , we don't .Although there are many more cairns than standing stones and the stones are more likely to be marked on the early O.S amps giving us a clue if they are not to at least a possibility that they post date the map . Genuine prehistoric stones have also been moved and re-erected which is another problem .
