Description
This is a pair of chest tombs located approximately 1.5 meters east of the Old Church, dating from the early 19th century. They are made of limestone and are rectangular in shape, featuring moulded plinths and capping, as well as square corner balusters. The tomb to the south has a plain inscription panel on the south side commemorating Joseph, who died in 1812. The tomb to the north has an inscription panel on the south side, but the text was illegible at the time of the last survey in August 1987.
