Neo-classical mausoluem built c.1830. Rectangular in plan with a base plinth, ashlar walls and square-headed doorway. Cast-iron single-leaf door with flat panels. The roof is largely missing though the surviving elements indicate that this was a pitched roof gabled to the north and south. The mausoleum carries the maker's mark of Robinson.

The mausoleum carries the maker's mark of Robinson (Robinson is also known to have built the Wallace Mausoleum at Downpatrick Church of Ireland Graveyard). An advertisment in the 1870 Belfast Street Directory records a John Robinson as a 'manufacturer of marble, granite and freestone monuments'.
This mausoleum is roofless and consequently exposed to the elements. Further loss of historic building fabric is likely (2003).
