Bagot Memorial

The Bagot Memorial is a monument shaped like a pyramid on a pedestal, made of axe-dressed rough masonry, and stands about eight metres tall. The top is eroded but seems to finish in a smaller pyramid resembling an obelisk point. The pyramidal section is four metres high and rests on a square pedestal that features inscriptions on two sides. This pedestal is elevated on a high plinth made up of four steep steps, and at ground level, the structure measures approximately 4 metres square.

The original inscription, facing east, states: "As a memorial of his having completed this large range of mountain plantations which in part skirt the base of this hill William second Lord Bagot erected this pile of stones in the year 1830."

After the trees were cut down and Clocaenog Forest was replanted, a second inscription was carved by the artist Eric Gill and added to the pedestal stonework on the north side. This inscription reads: "Lord Bagot's plantations were felled during & after the Great War 1914 - 1918. The Forestry Commissioners began to plant Clocaenog Forest in 1930. 1934: R D Robinson, Chairman."
