The National Monuments Service's description
This stone is currently incorporated into the interior N wall of Toureen Peakaun church (TS075-023001-), 4.45m from the E gable. It is described by Okasha and Forsyth (2001, 276-7) as a small slab (H c. 0.18m; Wth c. 0.16m) and is 'a fragment of a slab of unknown form built upside down into the wall. Part of an outline cross, including the right cross-arm, is incised on its visible face. There is part of one letter below, with a horizontal line above it'. It is listed as Toureen Peacaun 32 (ibid.). The stone was uncovered during the 1944 excavation (Duignan 1944, 227).
