History

Undateable from structural evidence, perhaps built at the same time as the house opposite (which, though much altered, appears to C18 in origin), but any date between the early C18 and mid C19 would be credible.

Exterior

Properly speaking, a holding tank rather than a well, being situated on a slope below a spring which originally supplied it. Now disused, and at the time of the survey so heavily overgrown with vegetation as to be almost invisible. Built of coursed slabby sandstone rubble. Square or rectangular in plan, approximately 3-4m on each side, facing SW. Steeply-pitched pyramidal construction approximately 4m high, the front wall fallen but otherwise intact.

Interior

Inaccessible, but the owner reported that it has a vaulted roof and contains a tank approximately 2m deep.

Reasons for Listing
