Detail of well and name deleted.

Information from OS Reviser (AMB) 23 November 1966

Water still issues from this well. In the eighteenth century the well head was repaired in the Neo-classical style with a Roman arched entrance cut into a cube topped by a pyramid roof. Its stones now lie around the spring.
