Standing on the eastern side of the A482 is a humble memorial to the villagers of Llanwrda and surrounding area who lost their lives in the First and Second World Wars. Erected in 1923 it depicts a white marble soldier with rifle reversed on a pedestal of Aberdeen granite. One of a group of similar white marble statues including those at Llangeitho, Llanddewi Brefi, Drefach and Aberbanc in Ceredigion and Dale in Pembrokeshire.
The names from 1914-19 are on W face and from 1939-45 on S face and 'Adeiladwyd gan y plwyfoloion' (Built by the parishioners) on N face.
In 1999 Cadw listed the monument as Grade II.
