This is a chest tomb located approximately 12 meters north of the Church of St Sennar in Zennor. It features a chest with a cross set over each end, dating from the medieval period, while the chest itself is from the late 19th century.

The tomb is made of granite and includes inset lead letters. It has a rectangular shape, and the granite crosses are wheel-headed monoliths. The east cross features a crucifixion figure on both faces, while the west cross displays a crucifixion on its east face and a cross patee on its west face, both with relief carving. The Borlase family is notable for their connection to William Borlase, a distinguished antiquarian from the 18th century.
