The area around Novi Travnik saw some of the heaviest fighting of the 1992-95 war. As well as the presence of landmines in the vicinity until recently, leading to a general neglect of the area, one megalith is badly damaged, being overturned and broken. A further sculpture appears to be almost completely absent. Several of the megaliths bear bullet impacts, particularly on the eastern-facing side. One word has been intentionally erased from the commemorative stone at the site's entrance. This word almost definitely referred to Ustaše forces.
