Description
This is a relatively simple, gothic-style gabled stone memorial fountain, erected in 1887 to commemorate Andrew Richard Wilson, a local man who died the previous year. It is situated within a small, walled public space on the east side of Drones Road, near its junction with Glenshesk Road, in the townland of Turnarobert.
The memorial is constructed from dressed sandstone and features a gable with corner buttresses, moulded coping with "double gable" ends, and a small finial. The west-facing front has two recessed areas. The lower recess, originally containing a fountain (now removed and replaced with dressed stone blocks), is segmental-headed. The upper recess has a pointed arch and a moulded reveal, containing a polished granite panel bearing a dedication to Andrew Richard Wilson, describing him as "a useful member of society and a kind friend." The inscription is now worn, and some letters are difficult to read. Above this recess, near the gable's apex, is a decorative moulded monogram "ARW" (Andrew Richard Wilson) and the date "1887 AD". The memorial’s construction was funded by Wilson’s friends and family. The fountain, when originally installed, provided the village’s only source of piped water and was removed sometime before a 1972 survey.
