Description

Well, with housing formed of crude granite blocks. The well, and possibly its housing, are thought to be medieval in origin, though the latter is likely to have been subject to some renewal and may have been rebuilt.

The structure is currently largely submerged, with silting of the interior, but is shown more fully in a photograph taken in 1960; it is thought that the structure itself has changed little since that time.

The well housing is built into the sloping ground, with the front opening being formed by a wide lintel with a slightly arched top resting on the side revetment walls; the back wall is curved. It is understood that there are, or have been, steps to the front. A survey of 1971 describes the structure as being about 1m wide and perhaps 1.5m deep.
