Cadw's description
Location
Approximately 60m NE of the parish church, set back from the road and enclosed by modern railings.
Exterior
A freestone cenotaph-type memorial influenced by Lutyens' cenotaph in Whitehall, London. The tapering pylon is on a stepped plinth, has rebated angles and added polished granite inscription panels commemorating the 1914-18 and 1939-45 wars. Above a moulded cornice is a tapering cap in similar style to the pylon below.
Reason for designation
Listed for its social historical interest as a prominently sited war memorial.
