Description

The well located approximately 90 metres southeast of Carwythenack Farmhouse is a Grade II listed structure, likely dating from the early 18th century. It features five granite steps leading down to a rectangular well, which is flanked by coursed granite rubble retaining walls. On the shorter south wall, opposite the steps, there is a granite spout that allows water to flow into a sump at the bottom of the steps. One of the steps is a reused piece of granite that has a hollow chamfer. This well was probably constructed in connection with the now-demolished Carwythenack mansion, which dates to the early 18th century, of which only the garden walls and gate-piers remain.
