The stone was divided in three parts and the parts were used as filling in the road. The pieces were later taken dug up and transported to Stavanger Museum of Archaeology, where it is now on display.
The runic inscription is carved with large runes running down one of the widest sides and it has been translated to "LabigaR" (probably a male name.)
