Cadw's description
Location
On the west side of the A4052 in the centre of Llanover village just north of Post Office cottages.
History
Part of the public water supply system provided for Llanover estate village by Lady Llanover, probably in the mid to late C19.
Exterior
Roadside niche built in random rock faced conglomerate rubble with some stores neatly squared. The niche contains a rough stone trough and a water spout with, above it, a panel no longer legible. The niche coping is ramped up with rough stones.
Reason for designation
Included for its special interest as part of a C19 village water supply provided by a philanthropic estate.
