Erskine Graveyards Oldest Stone?

Erskine Graveyards Oldest Stone?

Is this the oldest monument in Erskine Graveyard? The east face bears the date 1590, naming John Rodger, wife and children. The reverse (west) face appears to be much older. The language and inscription font make me feel this is the earlier face

East

Here Lies the corpse of Alexander Richy son to John Richy in Cardross

West

This is also the burial place of John Rodger his wife and children 1590
