Der Stein ist ungefähr 3,5 Meter hoch und unbearbeitet. Seine Basis misst etwa 70 × 100 cm. Der Stein soll das Grab eines Sohnes von Camus markieren, der um 1010 n. Chr. in der legendären Schlacht von Barry gefallen sein soll. Das Datum und die Erwähnung der Schlacht zwischen den Schotten unter Malcolm II. und den Dänen lieferte Hector Boece (1465–1536). Seine Angaben, einschließlich des Namens Camus, werden jedoch von Historikern in Zweifel gezogen bzw. widerlegt. (de)

The RCAHMS record number for the Stone of Morphie is NO76SW 6 7169 6273. According to RCAHMS, the stone is "Traditionally said to mark the grave of a son of Camus, killed in a battle between the Scots and the Danes". Local tradition claims the site as an alternative burial site for a leader of a Viking army that was decimated by the Scots army at the apocryphal Battle of Barry in 1010 AD. The date and mention of this battle rests with Boece. (en)
