Freestanding cast-iron vent pipe, erected c.1890, comprising of fluted pedestal with moulded detailing, cylindrical shaft over with banding at intervals and a saw-tooth profiled parapet. Located on a footpath to northeast of the centre of Tyrrellspass adjacent to main road.
This freestanding vent pipe is of social significance due to the role it played in the sewage system developed in Tyrrellspass the late nineteenth-century. This vent pipe now forms a subtle feature in the streetscape and is of some design merit, having been conceived as an aesthetic as well as functional item of street furniture.
