I thought this stone was amazing looking--the detail alone is wonderful! It has a lot of scrolling on both sides as well as the bottom, and what looks like the setting sun on the bottom center; it has the Death's Angel Head, but underneath very ornate scrolling and the Sun, which is sectioned much like an orange...and what looks like oak or laurel leaves with a sun "cap" above that. The carving is also detailed, with a flourish on the "h" in "his" at the bottom of the epitaph.

It reads thus:

"In memory of Ensic'n (Ensign--a military Naval rank)
Daniel Peck, Depart'd
this Life ye 6'd of
Nouember AD 1750
In ye 67th Year
of his Age"

This is near the rest of the older stones atop the hill.
