It takes the form of a plain cross on a staggered, octagonal, plinth with a two-stepped base in a paved area surrounded by hedges. There are 22 names listed for World War 1 around the sides of the plinth and 87 for World War 2 (these have still to be transcribed) on the base of the plinth and the steps leadingt up to the plinth.
