"Es un monumento arquitectónico que consta de dos pilones de piedra labrada a mano, utilizada para dar de beber al ganado o para que los paisanos recojan agua para sus casas; antiguamente sus gentes llenaban las cántaras y al sacarlas del pilón, erosionaban la piedra, hoy día aún se observan huecos producidos por dicha acción. Este monumento ha tenido varios emplazamientos a lo largo de su historia.

Este monumento da nombre a la urbanización que se ha construido en los alrededores de la fuente."
