Notes: 

Small east facing limestone square topped headstone with engraving and framed surround carved in relief. There is no name on this stone just initials T F and the year 1758 noted towards the base of the memorial.   At the top centre of the stone is a hammer motif with unidentifiable circular or ovate shapes at either side. An axehead shaped symbol is to left of hammer upright and an anvil to its right. We can ascertain from the vocation symbols on the stone that T F was a blacksmith.  Under the anvil by the upright there also appears to be a patera motif in relief.  The stone measures 1ft5ins(H) x 9½ins(W) x 3ins(D). This stone was most likely carved by the same mason who carved GA-SRMY-0122.
