What is recorded here

Section of random rubble stone wall, c.1830, on a shallow concave plan incorporating circular opening with sections of random rubble stone flanking walls having pair of rubble stone piers to south-east possibly originally flanking gateway opening. Road fronted.
A subtle feature in the streetscape that is of significance for its original use as a communal source of clean drinking water in Portlaw. The traditional construction in unrefined rubble stone assimilates attractively into the surrounding landscape.
