About the memorial: A tall cairn with an imbedded dedication stone on the front face. The cairn is approximately 2m wide at the base and 3.5m high and is topped with an upright stone. There is a 2.5m loose stone surround which I presume is to prevent cattle from damaging the cairn. It is dedicated to Captain George Nisbet McDougal, M.C. who was killed during the D-Day Landings in 1944. T
