The tomb is constructed of ashlar stone and features a moulded base with a pyramidally ridged capstone. The chest tapers towards a narrower base, and its sides are adorned with fielded panels that have indented quadrant corners. One long side is inscribed, and the corners are highlighted by fielded panelled angle pilasters topped with guilloche ornamented caps.
