The National Monuments Service's description
Formerly situated at Toureen Peacaun monastery (TS075-023----) and currently unlocated. Drawn by du Noyer (unpublished, c. 1860) this slab could not be located since. Based on du Noyer’s drawing, it is described by Okasha and Forsyth (2001, 320-21) as a small slab (H c. 0.325m; Wth c. 0.185m) which was 'a rectangular slab…[with] an encircled cross-of-arcs with a blank area below'. Okasha and Forsyth suggest that the cross-slab fragment (TS075-023037----) may be part of this slab or may be a slab with a similar design (ibid.). It is listed as Toureen Peacaun 61 (ibid.).
