This is a sturdy looking celtic style cross mounted on a truncated pyramid of rough granite. The names of the fallen are on two sides of the base inscribed onto smooth granite. Originally just a memorial to those twenty-four fallen in WWI it has been added to after the end of WWII with the names of eight.
