Cadw's description

In the churchyard of the Church of St David and about 15m to the south west.

From its appearance it seems likely that the tombstone is closely contemporary with the date of death, 1733.

Gravestone to John Phillip (d.1733) with very well-cut lettering.

Here lyeth the body
of John Phillip of
this Parish Who depart
ed this life the 19th day
of November in the year
of our LORD 1733
Aged 29 years

Included as a good C18 tombstone with well cut lettering.
