In what way is it not a cenotaph? It is clearly a structural monument. It is in memory of a deceased person. Said deceased person is not entombed there, although his remains are thought to be in an unmarked grave somewhere nearby. It looks like a tomb, but nobody is entombed in it.
And the word actually *means* 'empty tomb': 'ancient Greek /κενοτάϕιον/ < /κενός/ empty [...] + /τάϕος/ tomb' (Oxford English Dictionary).
