    Description
    The memorial has a tall tapering shaft surmounted by a wheel cross, with the face of the shaft and arms of the cross enriched with an intertwined flowing circular motif. The shaft is mounted on a battered, stepped base in two sections, standing on a shallow, square, granite plinth. The memorial stands in a small polygonal enclosure, created after the Second World War, which is laid in crazy paving and bounded by a low granite kerb with short, square section upstands at the corners and at the midpoints.
