The Battle of Culloden (April 16, 1746), was the final clash between the French supported Jacobites and the Hanoverians in the 1745 Jacobite Rising. It was the last battle to be fought on mainland Britain, and brought the Jacobite cause—to restore the House of Stuart to the throne of Great Britain—to a decisive defeat from which it never recovered.

The text on the monument reads: "The Battle of Culloden was fought on this moor 16th April 1746 - The graves of the gallant highlanders who fought for Scotland & Prince Charlie are marked by the names of their clans."
