The inscription was unearthed in 1898 at the image-house of the ruined monastery at Puliyaṉ-kuḷam. The slab is pointed at the lower end and must have originally stood upright. It is engraved with 44 lines in the Sinhalese alphabet of the last quarter of the 10th century or of the first quarter of the 11th century A.D. The inscription records the merits and great deeds of the Chief Governor Udā Mahayā.
