Monument
This headstone may have fallen as when this area was cleared in 2014 we only found kerbstones which were intact This area is now completely overgrown. However we have a grave register for this parish and it shows this family grave to be 4 rows east of the west wall and close to the northern border of the parish. It is behind the headstone of White AG343 and next to the grave set of Twinn and Newman AG341.
