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, 253-5) as a small slab (H c. 0.27m; Wth c. 0.46m) and is 'a rectangular slab of purplish sandstone. It is substantially complete although damaged on its lower edge and missing its bottom right corner. The visible face of the stone contains two complete horizontal lines of text. Above these are two small incised linear Latin crosses with expanded terminals'. It is listed as Toureen Peacaun 16 (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
