Spread across undulating pasture on the landscaped estate of Timoney Park, the stones number in the hundreds, and their sheer density makes them as puzzling as they are striking. This particular stone, one of eleven identified within a single field, stands 1.55 metres high, rectangular in section, and is oriented east to west along its long axis, with no packing stones visible around its base.

When the Inspector of National Monuments surveyed the area in 1934 to 1936, he counted 221 stones still standing or lying prostrate across the two townlands of Timoney Hills and Cullaun, and described them as "a most remarkable group." All are of red sandstone or conglomerate, ranging from roughly 0.9 to 1.8 metres in height. The inspector noted that the stones do not appear to follow any particular arrangement, with the exception of one stone circle in Cullaun. An earlier map published in the Archaeological Survey of Ikerrin recorded as many as 245 stones in total, along with five cairns, a word referring to deliberate mounds of stone that often mark burials or boundaries; by the time of that survey, 70 stones and all five cairns had already been removed. The fact that the surviving stones sit within the parkland of the Parker-Hutchinson estate at Timoney Park has led some researchers to question whether the group is genuinely prehistoric or whether it was, at least in part, arranged or augmented during the landscaping of the estate. That uncertainty has never been fully resolved, and it hangs over the whole remarkable assembly.
