What is recorded here

This pillar has been built into the external face of the E gable of the church (TS075-023001-), 2.76m from the NE angle, at Toureen Peacaun monastery. A small cross-pillar (H 0.69m; Wth 0.23m; T 0.025m) with a wheeled cross (H 0.46m) in relief on one face (Waddell and Holland 1990, 179; Okasha and Forsyth 2001, 288-9). Okasha and Forsyth suggest it may be a companion pillar with TS075-023074- and that both may have formed part of a shrine (TS075-023072-) (ibid.).
