Possibly something like Arthur's O'on then, which I think is the nearest plausible thing to a 'Roman victory monument' in Britain, excepting the big arch at Richborough.
Or perhaps the Tropaeum Alpium. Interestingly, all of these (and Adamklissi) are circular buildings.
I still don't think there's any need to look for such a monument for this battle, as we have no evidence for one and the circumstances don't seem to fit the pattern of memorialisation (no territory gained, no emperor involved, etc).
But if such a thing did exist, it would probably be a circular structure, perhaps situated close to a road or settlement.
