Description

Hallbank Well is a wellhead with medieval origins, although the visible structure dates from the 18th and 19th centuries. It is constructed of squared stone, except for the brick vault that covers the cistern. The cistern is partly underground and features a 1-metre high end wall with a square grilled opening and stone steps alongside it. The low walls nearby are remnants of a flushing tank. The interior of the cistern measures 5.6 by 3.1 metres and has a later 19th-century segmental brick vault. This site is included for its local historical interest.
