Boer War Memorial, Eamont Bridge

The Boer War Memorial in Eamont Bridge is located at the corner of a field near a road junction and is positioned on the outer bank of a scheduled prehistoric henge. The memorial features a Celtic Cross on a rectangular pedestal, which stands on a larger square, two-stepped base. The front face of the cross head is adorned with relief bosses that display knot and interlace designs. The upper part of the shaft is similarly decorated, while the lower part features bronze relief portrait medallions of the two soldiers depicted, both wearing slouch hats.
