Chest tomb c2.5m to south of the latter. Early-mid C18. Partially legible inscription on the south side with a sunken inscription panel with panels of raised strapwork either side. Similar raised strapwork at tomb end. Chest tomb c2.5m to south. Early C17 with deeply incised inscriptions on the north side and at the west end.
