A memorial dedicated to the fallen in the First World War, consisting of a Celtic-style wheel cross. Subsequently, another one was added for the Second World War, which is the bench that can be observed on one side of the base.

From a distance, one might mistake it for a typical Celtic-style wayside cross, like the small sacred monuments found in many places. But upon closer inspection, the true significance of this memorial reveals itself: to commemorate the many victims claimed by war and tyranny in so many places. Thus, they remain significant today as a constant reminder to maintain peace—despite the significant time gap between then and the present, these memorials lose none of their relevance.
