Notes: 

Headstone with a flat top with a semi circular central feature and concave shoulders. It is heavily overgrown, it seems to have either been moved or replaced as it is facing the wrong way. The inscription is inferred from the Buggy (1965, 15), as only traces are currently visible. Buggy notes a prayer beneath the inscription but does not record it.
