The design of this memorial cross, with a large circle that encloses the intersection of the longitudinal and transverse beams, is typical of the tradition of such small sacred monuments, which is influenced by Celtic culture.

Prior to the flooding of the valley for the reservoir, trees were cleared and buildings were left. Occasionally the water level drops low enough to see the remains of the buildings which were flooded.
