What is recorded here
Water pump in Drumkeeran [drum. by.] is topped with a cast-iron acorn. That’s how you start a squirrel feud: put the biggest nut in the parish on a pedestal and make it impossible to take home.
Cast-iron water pump, erected c.1870, comprising fluted shaft and fluted domed cap with acorn finial. Set at road verge. Now disused.
This water pump exhibits artistic detailing in its design, which enlivens its utilitarian form. It is of social and technical interest, having been erected to provide a communal source of clean drinking water. Located at the northern end of Drumkeeran, this structure is a pleasant feature of the streetscape.
