Keenley and Broadside War Memorial

  • Description

    "...The memorial stands in an enclosure to the S of the roadside, opposite Burn Tongues Farm (not listed). The semi-circular enclosure is marked to the front by a coursed stone wall with piers, railings, and a gate. The memorial is approached from the road by a rake of steps. Built of stone from local quarries at Kiln Green, the memorial comprises a small cross rising from a moulded collar on a tapering shaft, square on plan. The shaft stands on the corniced top of a pedestal, that stands on a two-stage base. That stands on a stone step. A wreath encircling a sheathed sword is carved in low relief on the front face of the upper stage of the base...."
