The National Monuments Service's description
Marked on the 1839 and 1940 eds of the OS 6-inch map and described in gothic lettering as St. Margaret’s Well on both. It is located on an E-facing slope, in a recess on the E side of a N-S road. This is a rectangular well (dims 1.6m N-S; 0.9m E-W) with drystone edges. Water seeps off to the E and S. There is no record that it was ever venerated and there is no evidence of veneration.
