Laid out in 1922 as part of the development Tre-Elidyr designed by Alfred Powell. It was built as a memorial to WWI and to the son of Lord Treowen and others of the village who died in the conflict.
Red sandstone walls with slate plaques. Stone walls about 1m in height surround a large square green with openings on three sides. The fourth side has the War Memorial with a quadrant wall and pleached lime trees. The cross is on three steps and has a tall field-found shaft with a light iron cross to the top. The memorial tablets are fixed to the quadrant wall, three slate plaques, one with an inscription in Welsh and English and two with the names of the fallen of WWI. Those lost in WWII are named on a separate bronze tablet.
Included for its special interest as being a fine memorial which is part of a planned War Memorial housing development around a green, which was designed by Alfred Powell and remains almost unaltered in detail.
