Description

This fountain, likely constructed between 1920 and 1939, is one of several well-maintained, similar fountains in Beragh, County Tyrone. These fountains serve as a reminder of a time when public water sources were the primary means of obtaining drinking water.

The fountain features a plain, shaped, fluted column topped with an acorn finial and a lion's mouth spout. The column is inscribed with the name "Glenfield & Kennedy Ld, Kilmarnock." It is situated in a prominent roadside location.

While older Ordnance Survey maps from 1906 and 1937 (held at PRONI, Reference OS 10/6/44/5/1 and 2) show other pumps within the village, this particular location is not marked; therefore, it is believed the fountain was installed after 1936. Further information can be found in Fred Hammond’s 1997 report, ‘Water Pumps in Northern Ireland: A Preliminary Survey,’ under pump number 71.

The fountain is of local interest and demonstrates social, cultural, and economic importance due to its historical function. It holds industrial archaeological interest and contributes to the group value of similar structures in the area. Its architectural appeal lies in its style, proportions, and ornamentation, and its setting enhances its significance.
