The tall rectangular sandstone block rises on a quarry stone base and is covered with a triangular roof with a embossed gable field and a central flower. A carved Latin inscription is spread across its four sides: Limes Impe Rii Romani, Memo Riae Roma Norvm Barbarvs Anno Mdccccxii, Civis Gisensis, Robertvs Sommer Cvm Vxore.
Translated: "To the memory of the Romans, a barbarian in 1912"

There are four Latin inscriptions carved into the stone, one on each side.
The name “Barbarian Stone” comes from the inscription on the south-facing side:
MEMORIAE ROMANORVM BARBARVS ANNO MDCCCCXII
“In memory of the Romans, a barbarian in 1912.”
On the back, facing north, is the inscription:
LIMES IMPERII ROMANI
“Border of the Roman Empire.”
