What is recorded here

Formerly incorporated into the interior E wall of St Peakaun's church (TS075-023001-). It is described by Okasha and Forsyth (2001, 241-2) as a small slab (H c. 0.115m; Wth c. 0.1m) and is 'a fragment of a slab of unknown form. On the visible face are incised parts of two lines, each with a right angle; they appear to have formed part of the underside of a transom and the shaft of a cross. One letter remains in each of the two lower quadrants so formed'. It is listed as Toureen Peacaun 8 (ibid.). The stone was uncovered during the 1944 excavation (Duignan 1944, 227). It is currently unlocated. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 26 August 2011
