St Maha's Well is situated some 350yds SSW of Muirpark. The well-head is of horse-shoe shape, measures 2ft by 3ft internally and stands about 1ft above the surface of the water. A few yards to the NE are vestiges of a similar structure, now turfed over, possibly the remains of an earlier well-head. The well was considered to have healing properties. RCAHMS 1963.
