About the memorial: A self-built sandstone-block tower surmounted by a cross. It is built in four stages. A lower section forms the base, above which is a section with recesses on each face, which are painted black, with white geometric patterns. Above this there are three steps leading up to the upper section, upon which the cross is set. There are no inscriptions, but there is a printed sheet on a board in front of the tower explaining its purpose. Built by the owners of the garden centre, Kevin and Carl Duffy.
