Almost certainly, from the date, her burial:

First name(s):             Caroline
Last name:                 POWYS
Date of burial:            30 Feb 1813        <-----  sic!!!
Age at death:              26
Calculated year of birth:  1787
Place of burial:           Abbots Leigh
Dedication:                Holy Trinity
County:                    Somerset

Ancestry adds to the above, with no image, that her father was Thomas.  But puts in a rational burial date of 10 Feb.

Finally a copy of the burial register has been found that makes it clear that she was the 4th daughter of “Thomas, Lord Lilford” and states that she died at Clifton.

Possibly the record might have said she died in her 26th year, as that form would have been true and was a fairly common custom.
