That absence of pattern is itself part of the puzzle. When the Inspector of National Monuments surveyed the area in 1934 to 1936, he counted 221 stones still standing across two adjoining townlands, Timoney Hills and Cullaun, and noted that they appeared to follow no particular system, aside from one stone circle in Cullaun. The individual stone recorded here measures 1.52 metres tall, rectangular in section, and is orientated on a north to south axis. Modest enough on its own, but it is one of 46 identified in this single field alone.

By the time Gearóid Stout published his Archaeological Survey of Ikerrin in 1984, the picture had become more complicated. His map showed 245 standing stones in total across the two townlands, with 70 already removed, along with five cairns that had also disappeared. That tally of losses points to centuries of clearance, and it raises a question that has never been fully resolved. The stones all appear to be of the same red sandstone or conglomerate material, which the 1936 inspector described as consistent in type and ranging from roughly 0.9 to 1.8 metres in height. Yet their location on the Parker-Hutchinson estate of Timoney Park complicates any straightforward prehistoric reading. Whether these are genuinely ancient monuments, estate features introduced during landscaping, or some mixture of both remains uncertain, and that unresolved question gives the site a quality that purely documented monuments rarely have.
