PT: "Poço com fonte associada, pertencentes ao antigo Trem da praça-forte, construídos na transição do séc. 18 para o 19, possivelmente por iniciativa régia. O Poço, com profundidade significativa, possui bocal circular, com paredes de cantaria, encimadas por pilares para sustentação do sistema de extração, que foi alterado ao longo dos tempos. A fonte adossada, tipo caixa de água, é de grande simplicidade e possui o corpo paralelepipédico com remate em cornija apenas nas faces laterais e principal, esta última, encimada por espaldar com as armas reais entre urnas. As bicas, circulares achatadas, têm linguagem mais moderna. Frontalmente tem tanque retangular, mais largo do que o corpo, sendo o recorte lateral direito aproveitado para colocar um outro tanque, mais pequeno. "


EN:"Well with associated fountain, belonging to the old Stronghold Train, built in the transition from the 19th century. 18 to 19, possibly on royal initiative. The Well, with significant depth, has a circular mouth, with stone walls, topped by pillars to support the extraction system, which has been altered over time. The attached fountain, type of water tank, is of great simplicity and has a parallelepiped body with a cornice finish only on the side and main sides, the latter, topped by a back with the royal arms between urns. The spouts, flat circular, have a more modern language. Frontally, it has a rectangular tank, wider than the body, with the right side cutout being used to place another, smaller tank."
