There are only seven remaining stones on the site. Seven smaller ones have been removed and brought into a museum, together with or including the remains of a stone that was destroyed by a local farmer in 1951.
The stones have at least partially been moved. I found information on the net that "most" of the stones have been found in the riverbed.
Most recent research gives reason to believe that there are even more fallen or sunken stones.
