Description

The Cilfynydd War Memorial is a classical structure made of reconstituted stone, featuring a triangular plan. It consists of three Tuscan columns topped with a plain entablature and coping. The three sides of the entablature are inscribed with the words 'ABERTH', 'RHYDDID', and 'TERYNGED'. At the base, there are black marble plaques with gold lettering that display dedications and roll calls for both World Wars. The memorial is set on a stepped plinth and is enclosed by a square dwarf wall with painted railings, with double gates located on the south side.
