It has a low opening at the front with a flat timber lintel and a low parapet surrounding the well, which is heavily encrusted with lime. Combe Martin is noted for having the highest concentration of kilns in North Devon, positioned close to the limestone quarries in a line that runs parallel to and southwest of the village street.
