These three pumps are relatively unusual examples of a once common place communal utility; their merit is increased by the unusually close and complete grouping in this village setting. There is a fourth Kennedy well in the village (at NO 47493/58221; not listed due to poor condition).
Kennedy wells are a form of permanent standpipe which was produced in the later nineteenth century by Glenfield and Kennedy, iron founders of Kilmarnock. The knob on the side of the column operated an internal valve which controlled the flow of the water from an underground supply pipe. The water flowed out via the lionhead spout.
The Third Statistical Account comments that until the mid 20th century, 'Tannadice village depended on wells and pumps supplemented by an unreliable gravitational supply from a spring, and most farms and cottages relied on wells and springs.'
