The second is a narrow chest tomb with fielded end pilasters and a rounded-edged capstone, inscribed on top to Margaret Jenkins, who died in 1800, with additional inscriptions on the side for Morgan Jenkins of Pentref-isaf, Margam, who died in 1860. The third is a laid headstone for Margaret Davies of Maesteg, who died in 1837.
