It is described “with interlace decoration carved in low relief to the cross-head, standing on a two-stage plinth, square on plan, with a moulded base. The plinth’s upper stage has a moulded panel to the front. The base stands on a two-stepped octagonal base.” (S1). There are inscriptions to the plinth in incised lettering. The former World War One dedication is to the upper stage (Inscription A) and continues to the lower stage, along with six associated names listed by regiment, with rank and regiment details (Inscription B; S5). There is a latter World War Two dedication [placement unknown] with two associated names (Inscription C).
