Description
Priory Well is a rectangular basin made of stone walls, which are particularly high on the west and north sides. The northern wall features three small rectangular channels that allow water to flow into the basin from a channel with a stone gutter. Steps lead down to the well's basin from the southern side, and there is a small area of cobbles to the south.
