Statement of Interest

Memorial stands on prominent rise above the Rosehearty and

was intended as a landmark for shipping, carrying on a local

tradition already established at Mounthooley (the holy mount)

where the dovecot tower is a landmark. The doorway leads to a

ground floor 'shrine' in which inscribed marble plaques

recorded the names of those killed in the 1914-1919 war.

These plaques have now been removed to Rosehearty church and

all openings sealed. Red polished granite panel above door

inscribed 1914-1919.
