    A mercat cross on an octagonal pillar and surmounted by a small Latin cross. The whole is mounted on a square gabled plinth and three-stepped base. The plinth features white marble tablets on each side with the dedications written in black lettering. A tablet at the foot of the cross bears the dedication to the Second World War. In 1995, four more plaques (polished grey granite?) were added, with the names of the fallen of WW2.
