The National Monuments Service's description

At a small enclosure (TS075-023006-) known as the 'cell' stone c. 100m SE of Toureen Peacaun church (TS075-023001-), where the stone has been built into the top of the wall on the W side. Early in the 20th century the slab was lying loose at the cell (FitzGerald 1904, 150-51). It is described by Okasha and Forsyth (2001, 279-80) as a small slab (H c. 0.43m visible; Wth c. 0.24m; T c. 0.09m) and is 'a part of a slab of unknown form which is now set on to the wall on its side. The back of the stone is plain. Incised on the face of the stone is an outline equal-armed cross with a horizontal line of text above'. It is listed as Toureen Peacaun 34 (ibid.).
