What is recorded here

Water well with cut limestone surround having metal cover over, erected c.1814. Located within the Columb Barrack complex (15310007 to 15310019).
A subtle and unassuming built feature associated with Columb Barracks (15310007 to 15310019). The robust surround to this well head indicates the importance of a good source of water to a large-scale barrack complex and it provides an interesting reminder that such complexes had to be able to function as an independent entity for security reasons. This subtle feature forms part of an important collection of structures within the Columb Barracks complex (15310007 to 15310019), constituting an important element of the architectural heritage of the area.
