What makes the site genuinely puzzling is not just the number of stones but the absence of any obvious pattern. With one exception, a stone circle in Cullaun, the uprights appear to follow no particular arrangement, no alignment, no grid, no procession. The individual stone recorded here measures 1.7 metres tall, rectangular in section, and is orientated east to west along its long axis, with no packing stones visible around its base.

When the Inspector of National Monuments surveyed the group in 1934 to 1936, he counted 221 stones still standing or lying prostrate, describing them as "a most remarkable group." All are of red sandstone or conglomerate, ranging from roughly 0.9 to 1.8 metres in height above ground. By the time Geraldine Stout published the Archaeological Survey of Ikerrin in 1984, a map of the wider area showed 245 stones in total, of which 70 had already been removed; five cairns associated with the group had also disappeared. The stone recorded here was marked as 5B on the 1934 to 1936 survey map, one of 11 identified in this single field. That survey also noted two stones in the same field lying prostrate at the time of recording. The stones sit within the landscaped grounds of Timoney Park, the former estate of the Parker-Hutchinson family, and it is that setting which introduces the central unresolved question about this place: whether the concentration reflects genuine prehistoric ritual activity, or whether some or all of the stones were repositioned as estate ornament in more recent centuries. No firm answer has been established, and the ambiguity is part of what makes Timoney Hills worth knowing about.
