Description
This is a group of three unidentified tombs located approximately 7 to 15 meters north of the sacristy at the Church of St John the Evangelist.
The first tomb is a lofty chest tomb from the mid-18th century made of limestone. It features reserved corners, a moulded top, and has a frieze and base with a cartouche on the west side and a circular raised panel on the east. The northern side has a circular panel decorated with guilloche and leaf motifs, while the southern side has a plain sunk rectangular panel. The inscriptions on this tomb are not legible.
The second tomb is a chest tomb from the early 18th century, also made of limestone. It has a very thick cyma top, and its base was not visible during the survey. This tomb features lyre ends with cartouches, with a cartouche and supporters on the north side and a sink moulded rectangular panel with carved drapes on the south side. The inscriptions are not legible.
