The memorial is in the form of a freestanding stone statue, depicting the seated figure of a mourning woman.

This is situated on a “four-stepped base, which surmounts a square pedestal with moulded cornice that is supported by pilasters to each corner. The pilasters have chamfered stops and stand on a narrow block foot that is chamfered along the top edge except at the corners. The whole surmounts a two-tiered plinth atop a narrow, square stone base” (S1).
