The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, on a break of a SE-facing slope. This well comprises a circular stone-built platform (Wth 2m; H 0.2m). The opening (Wth 0.8m) in the centre of the platform is infilled with stones. It is not indicated on the 1838 OS 6-inch map and there is no evidence that this is a holy well.
