The National Monuments Service's description
At base of a W-facing slope of hill face on wet poorly drained valley in upland region. Natural spring well enclosed by modern sandstone canopy which was constructed recently along with access road from main road. The well has no surviving religious associations. This was classified in the SMR (1992) and the RMP (1997) as a 'Holy well'. Following field inspection there was no evidence to suggest this was a holy well or a well or pre-1700 date. It remains classified as a 'Well' but is not included in the current remit of the ASI.
