Description

This is a chest tomb located in the churchyard about 24 metres south of the south transept of the Church of St Columba, dating from the late 18th century. It is constructed from granite ashlar and slate. The tomb features an ashlar chest without a plinth and has a rendered top with a moulded edge. The north side includes an inset slate inscription plate, although the inscription is illegible. The south side is rebated for another slate inscription plate, which is currently missing.
