What makes the site genuinely strange is not just the number of stones but the unresolved question of what they actually are. A survey published in the Archaeological Survey of Ikerrin (Stout, 1984) mapped as many as 245 stones across two adjoining townlands, Timoney Hills and Cullaun, along with five cairns, all of which have since been removed. By the time the Inspector of National Monuments recorded the site in 1934 to 1936, the count had already fallen to 221, with a further 70 subsequently noted as gone. The stones themselves, all of red sandstone or conglomerate, stood between roughly 0.9 and 1.8 metres above ground, with the larger examples averaging around 1.5 metres.

The 1936 inspector's description is candid about the difficulty of interpreting the arrangement. The stones do not appear to follow any particular pattern or alignment, with the notable exception of one stone circle in the townland of Cullaun. That absence of an obvious system is itself significant, since most comparable prehistoric monuments, whether stone rows, avenues, or ceremonial enclosures, carry at least some legible geometry. Here, the stones seem simply to proliferate across the landscape without obvious order. Adding to the interpretive difficulty is the fact that the stones sit within the landscaped grounds of Timoney Park, the estate of the Parker-Hutchinson family, and this setting has led some to question whether the monuments are genuinely prehistoric or whether at least some were placed or rearranged during estate improvement works of a more recent era. The particular stone recorded here, catalogued as stone 4D on the 1936 map, now lies recumbent, measuring roughly 0.5 metres by 0.45 metres by 0.27 metres, its original standing height and purpose as uncertain as ever.
