Description
A garden laid mainly to lawn. At one end of the garden is a grassy mound surrounded by a walking path. A standing stone is erected on a circular base, covered with irregular-shaped stones, on the mound with a short pathway cut into the mound (enabling wreaths to be presented). A stone tablet with commemoration rests at the base of the Standing Stone (possibly damaged/removed). A flagpole and bronze plaque with commemoration, the latter fixed to a block of stone, are alongside.
