What is recorded here

Freestanding cast-iron water pump, erected c.1870, comprising banded cylindrical shaft with fluted head having fluted spout, ‘cow tail’ curvilinear handle, and fluted ogee-dome cap with finial. Now disused. Located within a courtyard of outbuildings to north of Drumcree House.
An appealing feature in the farmyard that represents an early surviving example of mass-produced cast-iron ware. Although primarily a functional piece, its slim profile and elegant curved handle enhances its artistic design. It forms part of an interesting collection of outbuildings and fittings associated with the former Drumcree House demesne.
