5/261 Well and stile SW 660301 at - Trannack Farmhouse

II

Well with nearby trough, and a stile, all part of a Cornish hedge. Granite rubble and dressed granite. Built into the north side of a stone and earth wall (a Cornish hedge) is a D plan well chamber with rubble walls and roofed with granite lintels, at from approximately 2 metres to the right (west) is a cantilevered granite stile constructed of granite monoliths set into the hedge. The well house has 3 partly dressed stones framing a small doorway facing north (and facing Trannack Farmhouse). There are holes drilled into the jambs presumably for hanging and fastening a door. Between the well house and the stile is an old granite trough standing on former staddle stones. Farm well houses are rare in Cornwall and this example is well preserved.
