What is recorded here
Freestanding cast-iron water pump, erected c. 1880. Now disused. Comprising fluted cylindrical shaft, fluted domed cap with acorn finial, spout and bucket stand.
This water pump is a notable piece of street furniture within the town and would once have provided a necessary communal water source for the people of Rathkeale. The fluting and acorn finial add artistic interest and enlivend this utilitarian object.
This does not grant access. Most recorded buildings are privately owned; view them only from public ground unless the owner allows entry.
