Description

This is a chest tomb located about 6 metres south of the chancel of the Church of St Constantine. It is likely from the 18th century and is made of granite. The tomb features granite slab sides, with the plinth buried beneath the ground. The large granite lid is in two pieces and has an inset limestone plate, which is badly damaged and the inscription is illegible.
