Description
The well to the east of Grange Hall is a small well-house built over a spring, which is certainly medieval and may be part of the original 14th-century grange foundation. It is constructed from coursed, squared stone blocks using a dry-jointed technique. The roof consists of large, bevelled stones arranged in two courses, with single stones closing each course at the gables. A monolithic stone with cruciform moulding caps the ridge. The structure is oriented east-west, with the entrance located on the west side and a small opening for light in the east wall. The spring rises through a square opening in the floor. Surrounding the well is a square enclosure wall made of dry-stone, which has a narrow gap facing the well entrance. As of 1983, the area is somewhat overgrown.
