Freestanding single-bay single-storey pedimented mausoleum, dated 1911, on a rectangular plan. Pitched (gable-fronted) slate roof with ridge tiles.

Round-headed door opening with dragged cut-limestone monolithic surround centred on drag edged dragged cut-limestone keystone framing cast-iron double doors. Round-headed opening (east) with dragged cut-limestone surround having chamfered reveals framing perforated galvanised steel fitting. Set in landscaped grounds.
A mausoleum erected for George Glorney (1838-1911) contributing positively to the group and setting values of Deans Grange Cemetery with the architectural value of the composition suggested by such attributes as the compact rectilinear plan form; the pillared temple front centred on a restrained doorcase showing ""Anthemion""-detailed iron work; the robust rock faced surface finish; and the pedimented roofline. NOTE: The burial place of Lieutenant Edward Ernest Glorney (1887-1916) of the Royal Flying Corps.
