    Description
    Dark grey granite family gravestone, with a flat top and roughly hewn sides which includes the outside borders of the face of the stone. Most of the main face of the headstone is polished. The main body of the headstone is no longer attached to the base plinth, and is leaning against and behind the plinth, but is in otherwise good condition. The commemorations are incised, and above them is an "A" with a leaf and grape design also engraved either side. There is evidence that at some time the lettering has been highlighted with white paint but this has largely faded over time.
