Description
There are four chest tombs located in the churchyard, between 8 and 20 meters north of the north transept of the Church of St John the Baptist. These tombs date from the mid 17th century, early 18th century, and early 19th century, and are made of limestone.
One unidentified early 18th-century tomb features two recessed panels and corner pilasters on the main sides, topped with a moulded flat top. The tomb of Mary Lambert, who died in 1829, has a plinth, plain side panels, and a chamfered flat top.
To the north, there are two 17th-century tombs, including the Foyle tomb, which is notable for its fine lettering on the side panels and has a cavetto and roll-moulded flat top. This tomb was partly sunk at the time of the survey in January 1986. The other unidentified 17th-century tomb has plain panels, a heavy chamfered top, and illegible inscriptions.
