What is recorded here

This stone is currently incorporated into the interior E wall of St Peakaun's church (TS075-023001-). It is described by Okasha and Forsyth (2001, 231-2) as a small slab (H c. 0.2m; Wth c. 0.41m; T c. 0.02m visible) and is 'an apparently complete rectangular slab. Incised on the visible face of the stone are an outline equal-armed cross and a text in one horizontal line'. It is listed as Toureen Peacaun 2 (ibid.).

This cross-slab likely dates to the early medieval period, associated with Christian worship or commemoration. Its incorporation into a church wall suggests it may have originally served as a grave marker or liturgical monument.
