Round-headed upright slab approximately 0.2m wide and approximately 0.45m high. It is inscribed in capital letters "Amy Cosland buried July the 9 1717". At the top is a horizontal line with a pair of semi-circles rising above and with a simple cross between. At the bottom is a naive and stylised representation of a cherub with half of the date on each side. The headstone was probably set in its present position in 19C.
