A small circular stone fountain on the classical style, with three basins set into a paved area. The base has marks as if there were originally some plaques or possibly drinking basins for animals. The main body structure has three pillars around a central column supporting the basins. Above this is a small canopy, again supported on three columns with square bases, this time open in the centre. Above each basin is a water spout set in a cartouche between the column bases which have simple recessed frame decoration with a tap head in the centre of the right side. Between the square bases is a shallow dome. The upper columns support a dome with incised key design culminating in a finial. One panel of the base has an inscription about the donation of the fountain.
