The National Monuments Service's description
Marked on the 1912 'OS 6-inch' map as 'Trinity Well'. Situated at the bottom of a river edge. When inspected in 1966 by ASI, three of its sides were surrounded by a well house of drystone walling and it had a lintelled roof with a modern concrete pediment and inserted cross to the front of it. It was visited annually on Trinity Sunday (Stubbs 1908, 40).
