Description

The Ball and two unidentified monuments are three chest tombs located immediately south of the Church of St. John the Baptist in Kingscote village. The central tomb belongs to Edmond Ball and dates from the 17th century, while the two unidentified tombs are likely from the mid-18th century. All three tombs are made of limestone and feature flat tops with moulded plinths and cappings.

The tomb to the west is set on a raised base and has indented ends, with cherubs on the west side and books on the east side. It also includes a shallow relief foliage cartouche to the south and an oval panel with foliage moulding to the north. The Ball tomb has dentils along the capping, vestigial lyre ends, and plain moulded rectangular side panels.

The eastern tomb features lyre ends with slightly bellied oval panels, plain moulded rectangular panels on the sides, and flanking floral reliefs. Notably, a large piece of capping is broken off on the northeast side.
