Heritage listing
Category B Date Added 24/03/1997 Local Authority North Ayrshire Planning Authority North Ayrshire Burgh Irvine NGR NS 32258 38853 Coordinates 232258, 638853 — 1920. Market cross style war memorial. Octagonal base with inscribed bronze panels to each face naming War dead, that to High Street face noting subscription funding, bearing octagonal plinth inscribed with reference to former market cross, supporting columnar shaft capped by heraldic lion sedent on crown with shield below. Screen wall behind, 3-part, stepped up at centre with panels of those who gave life in 2nd World War. — It is not clear if the shaft is truly a 'restoration' of 1920, of an extant market cross reported as removed from the adjacent site in 1694, or if the reference on the plaque to 'restoration' simply refers to the style of the monument, as seems probable.
