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, 235-6) as a small slab (H c. 0.19m; Wth c. 0.36m; T c. 0.055m visible) and is 'an apparently complete slab of irregular rectangular shape. Incised on the visible face of the stone are an outline equal-armed cross and a text on one line'. It is listed as Toureen Peacaun 4 (ibid.). The stone was uncovered during the 1944 excavation (Duignan 1944, 227; Macalister 1949, 213). Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 26 August 2011

This cross-slab likely dates to the early medieval period, possibly 8th to 10th century AD, and may have originally served as a Christian memorial or waymark. Its incorporation into church fabric suggests later reuse in a religious context.
