Chest D also measures 2 meters long, 0.5 meters high, and 1 meter wide, featuring a low rectangular design with a slab that has an incised border and eroded inscription.
Chest E is situated on a plinth dedicated to Elizabeth Wilcox, who died in 1809, along with her husband Matthew and daughter Christian, who died in 1837. The plinth is approximately 3 meters square and supports a chest that is about 1.5 meters high, 2 meters long, and 1 meter wide, with two fielded inscription panels on each side and bulbous balusters recessed at the corners, topped with a double-chamfered slab.
