Description

The Eyewell is a well cistern located in a roadside bank in Queen Camel. It has medieval origins, although the date of the current structure is unknown. The enclosure is made of lias stone and features a slab lid, supported by four courses of coursed rubble on three sides. The water level is just below the road. This well contains a sulphurous spring that has been used for medicinal purposes, particularly for eye problems. It likely served as a focal point in the old village of Queen Camel, which was mostly destroyed by fire in 1639.
