Description

The Legg Fountain is a freestanding plinth located in Legg Park on the Belfast Road in Carrickfergus, County Antrim. It consists of a splayed plinth containing polished granite insets and is no longer functional as a fountain. The park itself was reconstructed in 1996. This structure was surveyed but not listed, receiving only a partial record during a subsequent survey due to its limited significance.
