What is recorded here
Freestanding cast-iron water hydrant, erected c.1880. Fluted shaft on ogee-moulded base, with roll-moulded necking and capital, fluted domed cap with acorn finial. Lion mask spout overlaid on necking, recent tap fitted to rim of capital. Set back on grass roadside verge to north of a junction.
This water hydrant is of technical and social heritage interest, dating from the period before public mains water supply when clean drinking water was provided at a communal source. Its survival in its original context enhances its interest. Located on the road to Swanlinbar from Bawnboy is one of a set of three in the locality, with the others located in Swanlinbar.
