    Rough granite Latin cross on top of a tapering square shaft. The shaft is mounted on a tapering hexagonal base and each face has a worked recessed panel that is inscribed. The base is on a single stepped hexagonal platform that has a worked recessed band around the five faces which is also inscribed, and on which is mounted a small vase in front of each face. The platform is bordered by a grass strip bounded by a stone kerb. A trapezium shaped stone tablet, with inscribed panels, spans the gap between the platform and the kerb on one face of the memorial.
