Description

This tomb has been described by Hubbard as the most elaborate of the Welsh hooded tombs. The base consists of one by two arches, with fluted pilasters at the corners and between the side arches. Above this is a frieze carved in relief with formalised foliage, and a ledger moulded at the edge and shaped to follow the projections of the pilasters. Above is a hood in the form of a freestanding arch, with carved rolls and trefoil headed sunk panels on the exterior; on its inside face is an angel at one side and a skull between two heraldic shields at the other.

On the ledger is the inscription 'Loe my sad pledge one last adieu is here recorded to thy view. Reader behold my losse so deare. Spare thy censure, shed a teare'.
