At some point, believed to be during the 1719 renovations, the stone was moved to the Old Parish Church at Corsewall. It was re-discovered being used as a door lintel in 1821 when the building was demolished. At that point it was moved to the gardens of Corsewall House, before finally being sited in its current location in 1988.

The earlier carvings on the front face of the stone depict the crucifixion, with another figure below. To the left of the figure is a pair of ravens, and to the right a pair of tongs.

Interpretations of these images have been suggested to be the Norse God Odin with his ravens, or alternatively Sigurd at his forge, learning the language of the birds. Another proposed idea is that this was a memorial stone to a local smith, who were respected leaders of early medieval communities. The style of the carvings are less skilled than the rear but are similar to Viking grave markers found in Ireland and the Isle of Man.

The rear of the stone shows more skilled carving. It is later in style than the front face, with many interwoven symbols and a symmetrical cross. The cross has a hole in the centre which could have held a metal disc or other decoration.

Below the cross is a goblet resting on a trapezoid symbol, possibly an altar, with diagonal rays casting outwards. There is a blank rectangle, which could have originally been painted with an inscription, and what is thought to be a later addition of a smaller incised cross.

Then there are two drinking horns flanking what might be intertwined birds/animals. Ornamental drinking horns were often given as gifts to the early church for holding the wine used in communion.

Below the horns are more twisted knot carvings and foliage, interwoven with a snake biting its tail, representing the overcoming of evil, and Eternal Life.
