Description

The Flaming Urn Monument is a three-stage structure approximately 3.5 meters high. It features a large classical urn made of reconstituted stone, topped with a flaming finial, and set on a square base. This urn is positioned on a cylindrical 19th-century pedestal base, also made of similar stone, which has moulded necking and swept volutes at the base. The pedestal sits atop a plain drum base constructed of rendered red brick.

The monument is centrally located within a raised circular platform that has a decorative slate and cobble pavement. It is surrounded by plain iron railings, which are open on the northeast side, where there are clustered end piers topped with decorative iron urns. There is a short modern extension to the railings on the north side, which faces the quarry. In front of the circular platform, there is a further terrace that steps down from it, featuring a cobbled pavement similar to that of the platform.

At the center of this terrace is a stone dedication plaque that reads: 'This Flaming Urn, raised on the ashes of their home by Clough and Amabel Williams-Ellis, celebrates the rebuilding of Plas Brondanw Dec.10th 1953 two years from its burning and the names of those to whom it owes its restoration, vis - Wm Davies, Twm Davies, Owen Edwards, Harry Pike, Hugh Owen, Rbt M. Jones, R.O. Williams. Yn gadarn yr ail-godwyd bron danur ar Lludr Llwyd.'
