Description

The structure is a retaining wall with two wells located southwest of The Old Vicarage. The wall is made of rubble stone and has been extensively repaired, particularly towards the right end, while the left side is in poor condition. It stretches approximately 40 meters from the right side to a broad segmental-arched medieval opening that leads to a deep well-recess with a rectangular pool. The wall continues to the left, behind a village pump and a lean-to shed, leading to the low remains of a semicircular projection, which may have been a bastion. It then extends as an eroded retaining wall for about 30 meters to a field gate at the left end.

On the inside, behind the external well, there is another well-chamber that is at right angles to the back of the wall. This chamber can be accessed by stone steps leading down. The well features a stone barrel vault, although the front part is missing, over a square stone pool.
