Description

This trough, located approximately 35 meters south of Pear Tree Cottage, is a Grade II listed structure likely built in the mid to late 19th century. It is made of dressed limestone and features a gabled design with lateral lean-to buttresses. There is a chamfered arched recess that holds the trough, and above it, an iron lion's mask serves as a water spout. The trough is included in the listing for its group value.
