The National Monuments Service's description
In improved pasture, near the base of a NW-facing slope. Named 'Bridget's Well' on 1840 and 1904 ed. OS 6-inch map. Though not visible at ground level, this appears to be a natural spring well which abuts the outside angle of a field boundary. The spring drains into a linear channel (long-axis ENE-WSW) which extends for a short distance to the WSW before turning at an obtuse angle to the NW. According to local information, this was always a wet area.
