Cadw's description
Location
Located immediately N of St Cyngar's Church within the walled churchyard.
Exterior
Three associated late C18 or early C19 vault structures, all without identification; of sandstone ashlar construction, the two westernmost with simple contemporary wrought-iron railings, that to the E with its railings removed. Each of the structures is of approximately 3m square, that to the E and the central one rising to the centre in a shallow, capped pyramid. The two westernmost adjoin the N aisle of the church.
Reason for designation
Included, together with other early monuments, for group value with St Cyngar's Church.
