What is recorded here

Freestanding cast-iron water pump, erected c.1880, comprising cylindrical shaft with moulded bands, moulded neck and fluted top with moulded spout having bucket grip, fluted domed cap with pointed finial, cow's tail handle. Set in concrete at roadside and bounded on three sides by mass concrete walls.

This water pump is one of a small number on the Aran Islands. It is well maintained at the centre of a settlement cluster at the west side of Inis Meáin. Its location meant that it served the area of densest population on the island, close to the church.

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