One lies 5 metres south west of the medieval tower and comprises a brick wall with an inscribed tablet set against it, overlooking a grave surrounded by iron railings.

It is a cylindrical stone monument dedicated to the Allen family. The inscription is unclear, but it is thought to date to the 19th century. Scheduled.
