The memorial takes the form of an obelisk formed of four stone blocks, tapering towards the top. The front face carries a bronze cross in the form of an inverted sword in relief at the top and a bronze wreath in relief at the base. The obelisk stands on a rectangular pedestal, mounted on a plinth and stepped base. The pedestal carries matching bronze plaques on its front and rear faces. The whole is set on a cobbled base within a low railing of granite blocks with a chain. Surrounding low granite walls date with gates and railings were erected in 1995. Construction was carried out by the Fordy family and others.
