Personally, looking at that photo, I don't think that the whole thing was
originally built as a fountain?

Just looking at the quality of the construction & carving on the wall
itself, then the fairly rough & shoddy plumbing, I think it looks more like
the wall was built as a decorative feature, & then at some later stage, a
couple of holes were cut through it & two water pipes installed, draining
into an added trough.

So what does that make it?

A decorative fountain? I wouldn't have said so.

Drinking tap? Non-potable so no.

I'm thinking maybe just an amenity=watering_place
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Talk:Tag:amenity%3Dwatering_place would
be the best option?

Thanks

Graeme
