Description

This horse trough, likely built in the late 19th century, is made from local volcanic stone and features a granite trough. The trough is set beneath a chamfered, four-centred stone arch made of dressed stone, which is part of a section of stone rubble walling. The trough has canted corners and is supplied by a water reservoir located in Dark Lane.
