On the northeast face is carved a wreath below which are the names of men lost in the First World War, with the losses of the Second World War recorded on the adjacent face. The memorial is topped by a rectangular plinth with cup and egg moulding. At the base of the memorial is a carved bowl for flowers. Generally in good condition although there is some staining and pitting of the sandstone. There is also a war grave in Botriphnie Churchyard.
