Covered fountain. Probably early C19 in its present form. Large semi-spherical bowl on moulded "saucer" with ashlar plinth. Slate-roofed shelter is square on plan carried on 4 unfluted granite columns; each side has segmental granite monolith arch and shallow granite-framed pediment with recessed panel.

HISTORY: the original fountain is said to have been moved from a place unknown first to the Old Market (on the site of the new Post Office) built by Sir Peter Killigrew 1632, removed to New Market House 1729 and to its present position in 1812. The present structure appears to contain no elements earlier than the C19.
