This chest tomb, located approximately 3 metres south of the nave of the Church of Saint Peter, is likely from the 18th century. It is made of sandstone and features plain sides with a cyma-recta moulded cornice on the flat top slab. The inscription on the tomb was largely illegible during the survey conducted in October 1987.
