All the trees have been removed and it looks like the memorial was once closer to the hall.

Not just the trees, a wall was removed too. Looks like it was done for road widening and may have been done some time ago, even before the roundabout was built because it looks like the street outside the hall was (and probably still is) the main road from Aberdeen to Fraserburgh.
On the South side of the square, along from the Pitfour Arms, is the village hall. Built in the late 19th century following a bequest left by local man Sylvester Davidson, a wholesale merchant, and a donation from Charles Farquhar, the bank agent, the hall and the nearby leisure park were given to the community in trust and remain in the trust of the trustees to this day. The bell and clock were added in 1897.
Does that mean what is now the roundabout was a leisure park for the residents?
