Basin in rock wall?

Question: skyline drive...the walls at the overlooks... some walls have a built up pedestal with what looks like a basin with a hole in the bottom. Does anyone know what this once was?

Got a response back from SNP within 90 minutes... once upon a time water fountains!

I suspect that they were directly from mountains springs. At one time the cleanest water you could get. Probably still is... Just not clorinated for modern standards.
