Water pumps were an important to nineteenth-century and early twentieth-century life by providing a communal water source to the local community. This water pump is located in a prominent location adjacent to Moylough House within a small square. The unusual wheeled pumping mechanism and fluted globe head add interest and the pump thus has rarity value, and aesthetic as well and functional merit.
