It stands just above the forest macadam road and covers a larger square paved with stones and surrounded by a stone parapet. On the back side, there is a large stone slab of the same width (3.2 meters) and a height of 190 cm on a stone wall. On it is embedded a memorial plaque of width 65 cm and height 46 cm, with a diagonally cut upper left and lower right edge, with an inscription. Above it, the Triglav symbol is carved into the stone. The supporting wall is deep enough that, due to its massiveness, there is a 35 cm wide shelf in front of the slab. The stone-paved square, dimensions 4x4 meters, contains smaller beams with ornamental shrubs and flowers, surrounded by a wide sandy strip. This square can be accessed from the higher part of the road via a ramp, or from the lower side via 7 steps. The memorial is the work of stonemason Valentin Vrhovč and was unveiled on 29 November 1956.
In the poetic collection Ulak, authored by Vinko Šumrada-Radoš and published by the Museum of the People's Revolution in Ložu, with a print run of 1500 copies, there is a poem titled Kosci, which speaks about this event.
