Kilconquhar - Fife
UKNIWM Ref No. 3020

The Kilconquhar First World War memorial is a rustic grey granit cross and cairn type pedestal, standing on two low freestone steps. A downturned sword is carved in shallow relief on the upper face, with a cross carved on the lower face of the cross shaft. The commemoration and names of the dead are listed in lead lettering on the face of the pedestal.
The monument stands outside the north boundary of the kirk and cemetery adjoining the main road.
A white marble tablet has been set onto the lower steps bearing the inscription:
