(November 24, 2025) Macalister reports that an earlier author named Langdon (1902, in Reliquary and Illustrated Archaeologist 8 : 50)  described this stone as being "found leaning against the outside of the churchyard wall, near its southeast corner with its narrow end resting in the roadway and its wider end against the wall." In November 1896 it was erected where it now stands, inside the churchyard, on the right-hand side of the entrance. A small Christian cross (formerly built into the chancel wall) was mounted incongruously on top of it and trimmed on the sides to fit the dimensions of the runestone.

The inscribed stone is a four-sided shaft of granite, now standing 6' 7" above ground. According to Langdon it was 10' 7" in total length with a maximum cross-section of  1' 5" x 1' 4" tapering to 1' 11" x 0' 7" at the top.

It is on the right bank of the stream and the inscription is on the side facing it. This was cut and rubbed, but is worn and clogged with lichen.

(November 28, 2025) Macalister reports that this stone was discovered by Borlas (1789) being used as a footbridge over a stream. It bore the name " Slaughter Bridge." He tells us further that "the present Lady Dowager Falmouth, shaping a rough kind of hill about 100 yards off into spiral walks, removed this stone from the place where it served as a bridge, and building a low piece of Masonry for it's support, plac'd it at the foot of her improvements, where it still lyes in one of the natural grotts of the hill." 

These "improvements  have gone the way of all their kind. A masonry bridge now has the name of "Slaughter Bridge" and the stone now lies about half a mile up-stream from this structure on the right bank of the stream. A rough flight of rock-cut steps leads down to the stone.  Macalister found it impossible-to discover a standpoint from which the whole inscribed surface could be photographed.

Locally the stone now bears the name " King Arthur's Stone" because some think they see the name "Arthur" in the text.
