The three tombs are late 18th Century and made of Limestone. All tombs have flat tops with moulded edges, and the sides have fielded panels. Inscriptions on panels are now illegible but the largest tomb (approximately 2m. by 3m.) has an inscription on the cover commemorating Thomas Blackall who died in 1779, who lived at Court Farmhouse and is said to have weighed 32 stone.
