Row of 3 troughs with retaining walls. 1841 and earlier, restored c1980. Gritstone. 3 troughs placed in line along the roadside, the north trough at lower level. The retaining wall on the west side is approximately 2 metres high and 6 metres long, with round coping, restored c1970. 2 short walls at right angles to this: one at south end of southern trough, with date 1841 cut carefully in the end of the pointed coping stone facing the road. A second wall between the central and northern trough, also with pointed coping. The water emerges from a pipe in the southern cross-wall and passes through the 3 troughs before disappearing into a road-side drain. This is an ancient site, being shown on the 1629 map of Knaresborough and know as the Stockwell. The three troughs are shown on the 1851 O.S. map of Knaresborough.
