Description
This is a tombchest located 6 meters to the northeast of the parish church in Menheniot. It dates from 1768 and is constructed from coursed ashlar slatestone, featuring a moulded cap. The slate lid has fine lettering, although this was partly obscured during the inspection by cleared headstones that had been placed on top of the tombchest.
