It was taken to the grounds of Carrow Priory, then was removed to the Castle Museum in 1924.
The stone is of ragstone. The ornamental face has a panel of false relief with late 12th century design. It was reused in the 13th century for a memorial inscription interpreted by C.A.R. Radford as to Betrand de Fun…eki.
