Description
This chest tomb, located approximately 8 metres south of the nave of the Church of St Michael, is likely from the early 19th century. It is made of dressed yellow and grey sandstone and features a moulded cornice on its chamfered top. The sides have sunken semi-circular panels with flanking fluted pilaster strips, while the ends display raised oval panels. The inscription on the top was illegible during the survey conducted in June 1985.
