During demolition of a river-side site, a worked sandstone capstone was dislodged revealing a well. Its shaft was about 10m deep and 1m diameter. It was of drystone construction with sandstone blocks averaging 0.3m by 0.6m. Photographs taken before the well was destroyed are in Perth Museum. An encrusted iron implement, found at the same time is also in Perth Museum (Acc. No: 1984,356).
