The National Monuments Service's description
In reclaimed pasture. Holy Well ( LI041-008----) lies 180m to SE. Not depicted on OSi historic maps. Possible enclosure identified by the Bruff aerial photographic survey in 1986 (Bruff 17; AP 5/2127). Visible as a ridge running NW-SE to the S of an area of low vegetation on Digital Globe orthoimage taken between 2011-13. No surface remains visible on Google Earth orthoimages. Doubtful antiquity, may be a natural hillock in wet grassland.
See attached Bruff aerial photograph and Google Earth orthoimages.
