Observation (June 2004)
A well was exposed in June 2004 by contractors constructing a new cycle path along Stannergate Road. The well lay on the N side of the road. It was constructed of roughly dressed unbonded sandstone blocks, and featured a lead pipe feeding out through an aperture in its S side. It was approximately circular, 0.5m in diameter and 0.7m deep (top to base). The well may relate to a ruinous building depicted on the 1872 OS map of the area. No artefacts were recovered, but the construction technique suggests a date prior to the later 19th century.
