Description

This structure is a wall that incorporates a former public water supply point dating from around 1782 and a street lamp from around 1800.

The wall is made of local limestone, featuring roughly coursed rubble on the east face and well-coursed, squared stone on the west. The top of the wall follows the slope of the hill and includes a horizontal step around the midpoint. This step is marked on the west face by a monolithic pilaster with a simple base and cornice. The lamp standard, which is fixed to the wall coping, rises from this pilaster. Near the base of the pilaster, there are marks indicating the fittings related to the water supply, including a blocked hole that once held the water pipe. Below this, there is an inscribed Ordnance Survey bench mark.

The wrought iron lamp standard is designed as a vertical bar supported on four sides, featuring relatively simple but decorative scrolled ironwork. Although the lantern has been lost, the base plate for the lantern, a projecting ladder rest, and a section of gas pipe remain in place.
