Freestanding single-bay single-storey mausoleum, built 1906, on a rectangular plan. Moss-covered shallow hipped roof on moulded rendered cornice. Rendered walls with rendered quoins to corners supporting moulded rendered cornice. Camber-headed window openings with rendered sills, and moulded rendered surrounds centred on pebble-encrusted panelled keystones framing fixed-pane fittings having cast-iron lattice glazing bars. Set back from line of road on a corner site.
A mausoleum 'erected in deepest love by AMELIA ANNIE [Dame Amelia Anne M'Kenna (d. 1907)]' making a pleasing, if largely inconspicuous visual statement in a rural street scene despite the presence of 'an almost life-sized marble angel, comfortable and homely looking as though resting after having eaten a picnic lunch, a most surprising apparition amongst the briars and nettles by the side of the field' (Bence-Jones in Country Life 1968, 1926-8).
