From the B1150, heading towards North Walsham, turn left by at the Three Horseshoes pub crossroads. Continue onwards and the memorial can be found on the left just before the road bears round to the right. It takes the form of a simple cross on a three-tiered plinth on a single stepped base in a gravel surround.
