Erected c. 1866. Unusual memorial consisting of stone slabs with fluted iron legs, probably cast at the local Clydach Ironworks, which closed in 1877. This type of memorial, a simplification of the sarcophagus type is often found in the area (several at Llangattock, Brecs), the feet usually of stone rather than cast-iron as at Llanelly.
Memorial with large sandstone slab, carried on four cast-iron legs. The legs are ribbed and taper from fluted feet to caps. Lettered slab is facetted to central ridge.
Carefully-lettered inscription and scriptural text to Thomas, son of Thomas and Mary Williams of Penygraig, Llanelly, who died 1st March 1866 aged 29.
Listed as an unusually well-designed late C19 memorial, utilising locally-produced cast-iron; a detail rarely encountered elsewhere in the area. Group value with Church and Cross.
