Description: Elaborate carved stone consisted of carved twisted columns on both sides. Top section is split from the lower section containing the inscription by semi circle shapes. The edge of the top is carved to look like scroll work, the bottom corners resting on a stylised flower. Within this section there is carved willow surrounding a bible. Within the top corners of the section containing the inscription there is scroll work which almost resembles a bell shaped flower. AM is in an elaborate script and Er coffadwriaeth and Jane Davies are in an elaborate font. The flat slab has been carved to look like the top of the coffin with a lozenge in the top, however int his instance the lozenge is empty and does not contain the initials of the deceased.

This grave was photographed as part of a Graveyard Survey carried out with the help of volunteers in 2013.
