Cadw's description
Location
Situated close to the S porch of church of St Crallo and the churchyard cross, close together and just N of the path.

Group of 3 table tombs of stone. Tomb nearest S door has an engraved stone slab commemorating Jenkin David of St Bride's Minor died 1812 and Margaret died 1830, with a later added inscription panel on W side, on an ashlar tomb chest. Pair of similar tombs just E of cross comprise a moulded slab, inscription panels on sides and decorative corners with fluting and roundels: that nearest S churchyard wall is to the Revd John Llewellyn of Marcross and curate of Coychurch parish died 1832; that between the other two has a long and mostly illegible inscription the initial part of which commemorates David Rhys of Tancoed died 1824.
