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, 259-60) as a small slab (H c. 0.22m; Wth c. 0.23.5m; T c. 0.01m visible) and is 'part of a slab of unknown form which appears to have been deliberately trimmed to a square shape. Incised on its visible face is an equal-armed linear cross with a square 'ring' at the crossing and matching terminals'. It is listed as Toureen Peacaun 20 (ibid.). The stone was uncovered during the 1944 excavation (Duignan 1944, 227). Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of revised upload: 06 December 2011
