Details in Stan Beckensall's excellent book, "Prehistoric Rock Art In Northumberland". The stone was found in 1859, lost, dug up again in 1933 and re-buried. Fortunately we have a picture from George Tate's History of Alnwick.
Currently the rock is exposed, but the motifs are very eroded and in much worse condition than on the drawings.
For more information see England's Rock Art entry for ERA-20 High Chesters Rock (Cairnheads), which includes a description, photographs, a sketch of the rock and its motifs, plus photogrammetry, a VRML model and media from the Beckensall Archive.
