We consider the potential for positioning with a system where antenna arrays are deployed as a large intelligent surface (LIS). We derive Fisher- informations and Cram\''{e}r-Rao lower bounds (CRLB) in closed-form for terminals along the central perpendicular line (CPL) of the LIS for all three Cartesian dimensions. For terminals at positions other than the CPL, closed-form expressions for the Fisher-informations and CRLBs seem out of reach, and we alternatively provide approximations (in closed-form) which are shown to be very accurate. We also show that under mild conditions, the CRLBs in general decrease quadratically in the surface-area for both the $x$ and $y$ dimensions. For the $z$-dimension (distance from the LIS), the CRLB decreases linearly in the surface-area when terminals are along the CPL. However, when terminals move away from the CPL, the CRLB is dramatically increased and then also decreases quadratically in the surface-area. We also extensively discuss the impact of different deployments (centralized and distributed) of the LIS.
