Formerly situated at Toureen Peacaun monastery (TS075-023----) and currently unlocated. The stone was uncovered during the 1944 excavation (Duignan 1944, 227). The slab is missing. It is described by Okasha and Forsyth (2001, 315), based on Waddell and Holland’s description (1990, 175, fig. 6.42), as 'a fragment of a slab of unknown form…The carving was the remains of an outline equal-armed cross'. It is listed as Toureen Peacaun 55 (Okasha and Forsyth 2001, 315).
