Cadw's description
Location
Located NE of the Wynne vault in the churchyard, the furthest away from the church of the 3 railed tombs.
Exterior
Two plain rectangular tombstones within a railed enclosure; cast iron spear-headed railings and pointed, ball-finials to the corners. The tombstones are of limestone and have indistinct inscriptions, although that to the N bears the date 1816.
Reason for designation
Included for group value with other listed items at St Michael's Church.
