Description

The chest tomb, located approximately 10 meters south of the tower of the Church of St Maugan, dates from the early 19th century. It features dressed granite monolith sides with an incised slate monolith slab insert, and is rectangular in shape. The tomb bears inscriptions for Eleanor James, daughter of William and Elizabeth James of Lemarth, who died in 1825 at the age of 24, along with an epitaph that reads:

"Swiftly our moments haste away
With ev'ry heaving breath
And swiftly hastens on the day
When we must sink in death"

It also commemorates Joseph Harriet Ruberry, who died on December 9, 1840, at the age of 4 years and 4 months.
