A drinking fountain enclosed in a gothic shelter by the side of the stream within the gardens of Plas Newydd. The stone font was taken from the ruins of Valle Crucis Abbey, two miles away. The ladies of Plas Newydd were said to have influenced by the Christian Hirschfeld's book 'Theorie de l'art des Jardins' of 1779 in the laying out of their gothic garden.
