What is recorded here

Freestanding cast-iron "cow tail" waterpump, extant 1940. Now disused. Set back from line of road with coursed rubble stone boundary wall to perimeter having rendered rounded coping.

A "cow tail" waterpump supplied by Jessop Davis (closed 1962) of Enniscorthy representing an interesting example of mass-produced cast-iron work making a pleasing, if largely inconspicuous visual statement in a rural street scene.
