The memorial takes the form of a stone rectangular table tomb with small moulded pillars recessed at the angles and egg-and-dart ornament around the top. On the coffin lid a bare-headed soldier is seated in a defensive attitude, grasping a rifle, with his fallen helmet lying on the rocks below. Each face of the monument is panelled, the panels on the south, east and west bear the names of those killed. It stands on a low raised platform, paved with stone setts and surrounded by iron railings with low square vase-shaped stone posts.
