There is a headstone shaped like a latin cross (H 0.83m; span 0.47m) with a narrow stem (dims 0.28m x 0.14m) commemorating Thomas MacNamorue with the date 1685 in the graveyard. The legend is inscribed in roman capitals and reads: ‘IHS / THOMAS MAKNAMORUE / ADGED 25 YEARES DYED / THE 8TH OF JANVRY / ANO. DNI. 1685’.
