(NH 68 23 44 70) King Duncan's Well [NR]

OS 6" map, (1938)

King Duncan's Well....This name applies to a spring which supplies the surrounding inhabitants with water. It is built in with stonework surmounted by an iron paling, and was at one time kept in good repair. It is so called from the supposition that King Duncan was buried a short distance South East of the Well.

Name Book 1868.

A modern stone reservoir (covered) bearing the inscription 'King Duncan's Well', marks this well. The well is in a dilapidated condition.

Visited by OS (W D J) 29 March 1960.
