(NH 7236 5659) St Boniface's Well (NR)

OS 6" map, (1959)

Apparently a spring well, St.Boniface's Well contributes to the water supply of the town of Fortrose, other springs having been drained into it.

Name Book 1871.

St. Boniface's Well is as described above. A circular, stone-lined, structure 1.0m in diameter and 0.8m deep, built into the natural fall of the hill slope, where it is at ground level on the NW periphery and 0.5m high on the SE. Half of the covering slab remains, and the well has been refaced on the outside. A metal overflow pipe has been built into the SE side. Name confirmed.

Visited by OS (RB) 23 March 1966.
