The National Monuments Service's description
Situated in Tedavnet graveyard (MO006-022002-). A small portion of a wall (L 2.15m; T 0.45m; max. H 1.95m) is said to belong to the medieval church but it is more likely to have been erected to display the funerary monument of Richard Robinson dated 1716, which is on its S face. The memorial (Wth 0.78m; H 1.38m) is in red sandstone with a raised border and it has a rounded top. It has an oval crest with the crest of the Robinson family. This is an inverted chevron dividing the oval in two, and there are three animals representing deer on the crest. The inscription is incised in roman capitals. It reads: HERE LYETH THE BODY OF / Mr. RICHARD ROBINSON / ATTORNEY AT LALIE (Law) WHO / DEPARTED THIS LIFE 4 / DAY OF APRIL 1716 /AGED 34 YEARS.
