Description

Rhydyfelin War Memorial is a freestone obelisk set on a stepped granite base with a stepped rock-faced plinth. The lower step of the base features a crossed sword and spear in relief. Above this, there is a roll call displayed in raised black letters. The obelisk itself includes a dedicatory inscription and a wreath in relief. Above the base, a relief panel depicts a masted ship and a serpent.
