Description
The water trough, dated 1692, is located against the east side of the barn at Sowcar Farm. It is a rectangular trough made from a block of buff sandstone and features a setting for a circular container within the rectangular structure. The date is well cut on the side of the trough. Historically, it was formerly buried against the north side of the farmhouse and may relate to the farmhouse's north extension.
