What is a barrel?
In the Dictionary of Zeeland Dialects (1964), a vate (called vaete in dialect) is defined as: “public well, near or in the village, serving as a drinking well for livestock and as a burn pit”. A vate usually has a wide, gentle slope on one side that is paved (paved). In addition to serving as a burn pit and watering place for livestock, the barrels also served as a drinking water supply in times when no water mains had yet been installed.
