The Department's description
Exterior description and setting
A fountain with a plain shaped fluted column and a lions mouth spout. The column is inscribed 'Glenfield & Kennedy Ld, Kilmarnock'. Sited in a prominent roadside location. Its top is missing.
Historical information
Several pumps are cited in the village on the 1906 and 1937 OS 25 inch maps (PRONI Ref OS 10/6/44/5/1 asnd 2), but none at this location. It is therefore concluded that this one was installed after 1936. Further particulars in the EHS Report 'Water Pumps in Northern Ireland : A Preliminary Survey' by Fred Hammond, January 1997, Pump no 72.

Evaluation
This water fountain is in a prominent position in Beragh. Unfortunately it has lost its top and is not as complete as the other listed fountains in the village.
