The National Monuments Service's description
Located in the little valley of a NW-SE stream, on the NE bank of the stream. It is described as 'Lady's Well' in Gothic script on the 1839 and 1924 eds of the OS 6-inch map. It was described in the 1940s as a stone-lined spring (SMR file), but there is no evidence that it was ever venerated and it does not survive.
