Description
This is an early 19th-century pedestal tomb located about 7 meters south of the tower of the Church of St. Mary. It is made of stone and features a conical central element, which likely served as a base for an urn. The tomb rests on a shallow square base with a flat top that has a moulded edge and a slight projection to a further moulded edge. The frieze is weathered and was originally fluted, adorned with central and corner paterae. The sides have a raised margin that defines a central oval, with paterae positioned in the corners. The whole structure has indented corners, except for the shallow base beneath the conical feature.
