Notes: 

Mural monument of stylised neo-Classical type. The monument is in three tiers- a pediment above an inscribed panel which in turn rests on a base. The pediment is predominantly plain. The main body of the tomb takes the form of a large rectangular central slab on a two step base with an incised border around the large rectangular central stone. This is in turn divided by an incised horizontal line which divides the two inscriptions. In essence this creates two rectangular text panels. The base is a rectangular plain plinth.
