What survives
The public record still identifies the place as water pump. Its saved point marks the building or centre of its recorded area, but the stock wording does not provide a room-by-room condition report.
Why it mattered
water pump — KILSOB matters for the exact reasons given in its official assessment, rather than merely because it is an old structure. The source records: A water hydrant of technical and social heritage interest, dating from the period before mains water supply when clean drinking water was provided at a communal source. It is an interesting reminder of the high quality of design and execution of mass produced ironwork in the late nineteenth century. The survival of the water hydrant in its original location contributes to the historic character of its rural setting. This explains what the place adds to local life, the street or the surviving built history.
