Headstone, gothic top. Decorated top centre by a raised cross on a plinth. This is enclosed by a hood-shaped raised bead, with flowers having 9 long petals either side. The first line of the inscription circles around the cross. The lower part of the stone is losing its surface due to spalling. The inscription faces west.
