Water pump in Cloheen, County Cork

This does not grant access. Most recorded buildings are privately owned; view them only from public ground unless the owner allows entry.

What is recorded here

Freestanding cast-iron water pump, installed c.1870, having fluted head with foliated spout and bucket grip, banded shaft, and curved handle. Now disused.

This attractive cast-iron water pump remains in its original position on the roadside. It would have once served as a communal water source. The banding and fluting are well executed and, along with the elegantly curved handle, add artistic interest to this otherwise functional object.
