It was labelled 2B, one of nine standing stones recorded in a single field, which was itself just one small corner of one of the most unusual concentrations of standing stones in Ireland. By 1953, inspectors returned to find only one stone still upright where nine had been noted not two decades earlier. The rest had gone, displaced or removed, their absence as quietly strange as their original presence.

The Timoney Hills group, spread across the adjoining townlands of Timoney Hills and Cullaun in north Tipperary, was described in 1936 by the Inspector of National Monuments as a most remarkable group. At that point, 221 stones remained, all of red sandstone or conglomerate, standing between roughly one and two metres in height. A later survey recorded as many as 245 stones in total, of which 70 had already been removed, along with five cairns, all now gone. The stones appear to have no obvious geometric arrangement, with the notable exception of one stone circle identified in Cullaun. Four displaced stones found in a neighbouring field may be the very ones that were once upright and numbered 2A, 2B, 2C, and 2D on the 1934 to 1936 map. What makes the site more complicated, and genuinely unresolved, is that the stones sit within the landscaped estate of Timoney Park, historically associated with the Parker-Hutchinson family. That setting raises a question that has never been fully answered: whether these are prehistoric monuments in the conventional sense, or whether some or all of them were arranged or augmented during the improvement of a landed estate, a practice not unknown in eighteenth and nineteenth century Ireland.
