OS 6" map (1859)
A mineral well which had been much resorted to in former days. It was filled up about 1856. It was sited a short distance north of
Burnfoot.
Name Book 1896; J Knox 1921
A shallow hollow, 4.0m diameter, indicates the site of this well. It is situated on low-lying ground beside the river; but there is nothing about it to warrant antiquity. No further information was encountered during investigation.
