It is described by Okasha and Forsyth (2001, 263-4) as a small slab (H c. 0.13m; Wth c. 0.135m; T c. 0.01m visible) and is 'a fragment of a slab of unknown form. Incised on its visible face is a small portion of two limbs of an outline cross'. It is listed as Toureen Peacaun 23 (ibid.). The stone was uncovered during the 1944 excavation (Duignan 1944, 227).

This cross-slab likely dates to the Early Christian period (5th–9th centuries AD) and may have originally served as a funerary or commemorative monument. Its incorporation into a church wall suggests later reuse in a religious context, though its original meaning or folklore remains unclear.
