The stone, which is now fallen, is in a field near to Woodhenge and Durrington Walls in Wiltshire, England (grid reference SU14654335).

The site of Woodhenge is around 500 metres to the east of the Cuckoo Stone, with Durrington Walls to the northeast.

The Cuckoo Stone was recorded by Richard Colt-Hoare on his 1810 map of the Stonehenge landscape.
