Tooled ashlar stonework to obelisk, margin-drafted at corners, gabled aedicules projecting from each face with concave-moulded verges and round-headed niches with chamfered margins, moulded cornice cap on which statue stands. Niche to north has commemorative incised inscription reading 'To the memory of Bartholomew Teeling and the valiant Irish and French soldiers who fought here for dear old Ireland. It is located prominently on the way into Collooney from the north.

This limestone statue, possibly designed by William Hague, was erected to commemorate the centenary of the 1798 Rising. It has important historical associations and demonstrates some fine cratsmanship in its execution.
