Description
This is a small structure designed in the style of a classical temple or mausoleum. The rear and sides are made of uncoursed rubblestone, while the front features tooled blocks and a finely jointed stone slab roof. The front has a pediment with a plain moulded cornice and a coped parapet. There is a square-headed recess that contains a massive slate slab with a drain-hole, which forms the front of the drinking trough, although this has now been built up in brick.
