By 1936, an Inspector of National Monuments had counted 221 survivors across two townlands, Timoney Hills and Cullaun, and even that figure represented a reduced population. A survey published by Stout in 1984 traced 245 stones in total, of which 70 had already been removed, along with five cairns that have since disappeared entirely. One obvious stone circle was noted in the townland of Cullaun, but the remainder appear to follow no discernible arrangement, which is itself unusual for a prehistoric monument complex of this scale.

The stones are all of red sandstone or conglomerate, standing or having once stood between roughly 0.9 and 1.8 metres above ground, with the larger ones averaging around 1.5 metres. The particular stone recorded here, one of 24 in its immediate field, is rectangular in section, just 0.8 metres high, and oriented north to south along its long axis. A recumbent stone lying immediately to its north may be the fallen remnant of a neighbouring upright, marked as stone 4D on the 1936 survey map. What makes the site harder to read is its setting within the landscaped grounds of Timoney Park, the estate of the Parker-Hutchinson family. That context introduces a genuine uncertainty: it is not fully clear whether all of these stones are prehistoric in origin, or whether some were arranged or repositioned as ornamental features during the landscaping of the estate. The question has never been resolved, and it hangs over the site like the conglomerate itself, worn and red and stubbornly ambiguous.
