The monument has a square plan, with a plinth, a plain cornice, and a domed head made of brick.

On the south side, another stone tablet bears the inscription: "Credito in Deo. That officer who erected this pile was present at the combats and battles at Alberche and Talaver in 1809 Busaco retirement Sobral and lines at Torres Vedras in 1810 Foz d'Arouce and Fuentes d'Onor in 1811."
