The obelisk has chamfered angles and is on tapering pedestal with corniced cap and acroterial angle finials, the pedestal with memorial inscription: 'Eglwys rydd a gwlad rydd. Y golofn hon a godwyd gan wladwyr Cymru er cof am John Parry Llanarmon arwr rhyddid gwladol a chrefyddol'. Plinth below, moulded with chamfered angles and polished panels, unpolished elsewhere.

A handsome late C19 granite memorial, of local historical interest and of group value with the chapel and chapel-house.
