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, 230-31) as a small slab (H c. 0.06m; Wth c. 0.235m; T c. 0.04m visible) and is 'a fragment of a slab of unknown form. In its present condition, the visible face of the stone contains parts of four characters incised in one line. Only a small portion of the fourth character survives but it appears to be the bottom left-hand corner of an outline cross. The space preceding the D suggests that it was the first letter in that line, and presumably the second syllable of the name was on the opposite side of the cross'. It is listed as Toureen Peacaun 1 (ibid.). The stone was uncovered during the 1944 excavation (Duignan 1944, 227; Macalister 1949, 213).
