A limestone Celtic cross on a square base, with supporting walls bearing panels that list the names of those who fell in the First World War.

The War Memorial, subscribed for by the people of Cahir and district, was erected 'to the memory of the Officers and Men of Cahir and surrounding district who gave their lives in the Great War'. The memorial includes three Australians, all born in the Cahir district, who emigrated to Australia.

In the 1930's it was rare for such memorials to be erected in Southern Ireland and even more so that the British Legion should have obtained such a prominent site. An attempt by the County Council in the early 1990s to relocate it was firmly resisted by petition and the monument was subsequently cleaned and restored. The rededication in 1996 then included all local men and women of Cahir and district who have died in armed conflicts at home and abroad. The memorial is cared for by relatives and friends of those who are commemorated on it.

The monument was refurbished and rededicated in 1996.

Main Street, Cahir, Ireland.

The memorial is located near the main car park by Cahir Castle.
