Description

The War Memorial in Cairnhill, Rosehearty, dates from 1914 to 1919 and features a square, battered three-stage tower made of tooled granite rubble with bullfaced dressings. The north face has a round-headed blocked entrance with a datestone above, which is accessed by a flight of steps. There are small square windows on the first stage of the east and west elevations, as well as in all upper stage elevations. The memorial has a corniced wallhead with a waterspout at the center of each side and a very shallow pyramidal roof. The frontage is enclosed by low coped concrete walls, and the entrance is flanked by concrete gatepiers topped with pyramidal caps, with the letter "B" on the left pier and "L" on the right.
