The Alexander Eagleton Memorial Gates consist of two wrought iron gates, supported by two white pillars. The words 'A.D. 1902' are displayed at the top of each pillar. A marble plaque in the shape of a shield bearing an inscription is attached to the front of each pillar.
The memorial has been relocated to the Clarence Town Memorial Park, where Anzac Day services take place.
