NT 332 670 Prior to the development of the E garden of Fairfield House, a brief investigation by Scotia Archaeology Ltd revealed a brick-lined well, thought to have been of 19th-century date, some 35m SE of the building. Its shaft measured 0.7m in diameter and was 2.75m deep, the water level lying about mid-way up its depth. The fittings for what was probably a hand pump (since removed) were attached to the well cap and a lead pipe had been inserted through the top of the shaft at some stage. A crudely built wall ran around three sides of the well.
