Tank or silo in Loughtown Upper, County Dublin

What is recorded here

The Tank or silo in Loughtown Upper is six metres of riveted iron, held in a concrete frame, with a ladder up to its little top opening. A flask designed by a man who’d lost one lid and decided the family would never hear the end of it.

Cylindrical riveted iron plate oil tank, c.1925. c.3 metres in diameter and 6 metres in length, supported and surrounded by concrete frame. Portal to top accessed by ladder.

A vigorously articulated oil tank, still in use within the hospital grounds. An unusual intact early twentieth-century feature.
