Notes: 

This is a cuboid pedestal tomb on a 1 step base, which originally had a truncated pediment above. An element probably an urn or chalice is now missing from the top of the pediment. The inscription is inferred from Buggy (1965, 42). The monument was probably erected by the Reverend Robert McNish.
