Le cénotaphe de Tara fut érigé à l’origine pour rendre hommage à ceux qui périrent durant la Première Guerre mondiale; les noms des personnes qui qui perdirent la vie durant la Seconde Guerre mondiale furent ajoutés plus tard. Les noms des personnes provenant du village de Tara et du canton d’Arran, ainsi que les dates de leur décès, figurent sur le monument commémoratif.
