The particular stone described here is a subrectangular slab of roughly one metre in height, orientated on a NNW-SSE axis, with no packing stones visible around its base. It is one of seventeen recorded within a single field, and part of a broader grouping that once numbered at least 245 stones spread across two adjoining townlands, Timoney Hills and Cullaun.

When the Inspector of National Monuments surveyed the site in 1934 to 1936, he counted 221 stones still standing or traceable, and described them as "a most remarkable group." The stones range from roughly 0.9 to 1.8 metres in height and are all of red sandstone or conglomerate. Unusually, they appear to follow no obvious arrangement or ceremonial geometry, with the exception of one stone circle identified in the townland of Cullaun. By the time Stout mapped the area for the Archaeological Survey of Ikerrin in 1984, the total had risen to 245 in the record, but 70 had been removed, along with five cairns. What gives the site an added layer of complexity is its location within the Parker-Hutchinson estate of Timoney Park. A designed landscape is not the most neutral setting for prehistoric monuments, and that proximity has led some to question whether all the stones are genuinely ancient or whether some may have been arranged or repositioned during the era of estate improvement, a practice not unknown among eighteenth and nineteenth century landowners with a taste for the ancient and the atmospheric.
