Exterior

The opening is framed in tooled purple sandstone blocks with stone voussoirs and slightly projected from rubble wall each side. Stone coping. Arch within is lined with yellow brick. Below trough is another small tapering cast-iron vessel to catch overflow.
Reason for designation
Included as cast-iron drinking trough in formal arched surround, a feature of the estate village of Lower Machen.
