Cadw's description
Location
In the churchyard of the Church of St David and about 15m to the south west.

The headstone is inscribed with the date of death as 1768, and it is very likely that the stone is closely contemporary with that.
Exterior
Headstone of white limestone with segmental top. Very well-cut lettering. The inscription reads -
Here
lieth the Body of Margaret
the Daughter of John Morgan
of the Parish of Pantigue
who died January 1768
