Little can be said about this stone, although, from such records as there are, Redknap and Lewis suggest that it could be dateable seventh to eleventh century. They also note that 'St Ailsworth's chapel ... is thought to have been ruinous by the end of the [eighteenth] century', and that 'the reference to an incised stone suggests that it may be early medieval, supporting the attribution of the chapel to an early saint' (Redknap and Lewis 2007, 536).
