Exterior Description And Setting

A typical cow tail closed head lever type pump with a plain shaped spirally decorated column and a fluted cap with an acorn finial. It is inscribed 'H H Mcerlean 1927' around the top. The house, behind which the pump is located, is itself listed (HB08/10/005)

Historical Information

A pump is shown at this location on the 1906 OS 25 inch map (PRONI Ref 10/5/42/6/1), so this is evidently a replacement. Further particulars in the EHS Report 'Water Pumps in Northern Ireland : A Preliminary Survey' by Fred Hammond, January 1997, Pump no 77.
