Description

This is an 18th-century chest tomb located about 8 metres west of the tower of the Church of St Nivet in Lanivet. It is made of granite and features a rectangular chest constructed from squared granite. The lid is cyma moulded with a flat top, which has an oval slate inscription plate inset. A 19th-century slate headstone is laid on top of the tomb, making the inscription inaccessible.
