Archaeology Notes

NT26SE 12 2862 6366.

(NT 2862 6366) Well (NR)

OS 6" map (1957)

This well, over 30' deep and nearly 6' wide, connects with the caves beneath Hawthornden Castle (see NT26SE 16). At the level of the cave roof, the sides of the well have several bar-holes and horizontal slots, evidently for fixing beams to carry a massive wooden lid.

F R Coles 1911

This well, surrounded at the top by an iron railing, is generally as described.

Visited by OS (SFS) 31 October 1975
