Description

Double Well in Kirkconnell Lea dates from around 1870. It is a well built at the foot of a cliff face, constructed from yellow brick with contrasting red ashlar coping and upper walling. The structure features two circular water holes, each located beneath a segmental-arched opening and accompanied by a curved front wall. Currently, iron grilles cover the openings.
