What is recorded here

Break a slab, bury the pieces, wait centuries, dig them up, and still the words may not fit together. The small stone from Toureen Peacaun survived that much because somebody cut marks into it before the monastery disappeared. It is small enough to hold, yet large enough to refuse explanation.

This is the present location for TS075-023046-. Formerly situated at Toureen Peacaun monastery (TS075-023----) and currently located in National Monuments storage, Dublin. It is described by Okasha and Forsyth (2001, 283-4) as a small slab (H c.0.11m; Wth c.0.162m; T c.0.033m) and is 'a fragment of a slab of unknown form. The back of the stone is plain. A fragmentary text is incised on the face of the stone. The right hand edge of the stone is original'. It is listed as Toureen Peacaun 37 (ibid.). It was uncovered during the 1987 excavation (Manning 1991, 212). Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 17 February 2023
