The memorial stands within a small, kerbed, triangular area of grass in the centre of the village. It is formed of a rough-hewn wheel-head cross on a tall rectangular shaft, which rises from a tapering plinth and single-stepped base. The front face of the cross head is ornamented with carved interlace patterns, and a hemispherical boss at the intersection of the cross arms.
