Description
1. Key hole shaped well - rises in circular pool and water flows into tapering pool. Outlined by revetments 4ft high of boulders.
2. A covered well chamber, c.1.2m in diameter, from which water flows into a boulder-revetted pool, c.5.8m E-W & up to 1.22m wide, terraced into a S facing slope.
The pool appears to have been covered at one time, this involving brickwork.
