Description
It commemorates the dead of both World War I & II. It is a tall, rectangular, slightly tapering, plain cross, with an inner solid ring making it somewhat intermediate between Celtic/Roman, standing on a slightly tapering rectangular base, with the inscriptions on each face of the base. The base in turn sits on a three-step plinth of roughly hewn granite. Within a circle, in the centre of the crosshead on either side, are the dates of the two world wars. It is surrounded by an iron fence.
