This particular stone, rectangular in section and oriented roughly north-north-east to south-south-west, sits within the landscaped grounds of Timoney Park, in a field that locals long called the 'racecourse field'. It formed part of a circular arrangement of sixteen stones, the one feature within the wider scatter that appeared to follow any deliberate geometric pattern.

When the Inspector of National Monuments surveyed the area between 1934 and 1936, he counted 221 stones still standing or lying across the townlands of Timoney Hills and Cullaun, and noted that a further number had already been removed. A later map published in the Archaeological Survey of Ikerrin recorded 245 stones in total, of which 70 had been taken away, along with five cairns, a cairn being a mound of stones that typically marks a burial. The inspector described the group as 'a most remarkable' assembly, all of red sandstone or conglomerate, ranging from roughly 0.9 to 1.8 metres above ground. What he could not determine was any overarching arrangement: apart from the circle in Cullaun, the stones seemed to follow no obvious system. That ambiguity persists. Because the stones sit within the Parker-Hutchinson estate of Timoney Park, questions have been raised about whether they were arranged or augmented during the landscaping of the demesne, which complicates any straightforward reading of them as prehistoric monuments. The field in which this stone stands held twenty uprights, called orthostats, of which thirteen were located during the mid-twentieth-century survey.
