Description

Freestanding painted cast-iron water hydrant, installed c.1890. Situated at junction of two roads in Leitir Mhór. Fluted cylindrical body with remains of bucket rest to base, fluted domed cap with acorn finial, and later tap addition. Maker's marks to base and body.

Appraisal

This functional hydrant is enlivened by the fluting detail to both shaft and cap and is nicely finished by its decorative acorn finial.
