Notes: 

This limestone east facing recumbent ledger has a square top with splayed shoulders. It is raised from ground level by stones but is not a box tomb.  The stones underneath may possibly be from toppled section of adjacent church wall.  The ledger shows a christogram, with cross and heart, inscribed in false relief at the top and there is a plough motif at the bottom centre of the stone. The text on the stone is incised Roman lettering.
