What is recorded here

Freestanding cast-iron water hydrant, installed c. 1900. Comprising moulded pedestal, fluted shaft, banded neck, spout and fluted cap with acorn finial. Maker's stamps to shaft. Fragmentary remains of bucket stand to north. Located at roadside adjacent to Toor Bridge.

This hydrant is an attractive road side feature of a kind that is becoming increasingly rare within the Irish landscape. It remains in its original working condition and is a fine example of a mass produced cast-iron items incorporating simple artistic details. The pump was an important element in the development of water supplies providing communal water and continues to fulfil its original role.
