Description

Located just west of the presumed chapel is the site of a well. It is extremely difficult to locate now due to the dense forestry and undergrowth, but appears to be a natural spring trickling out of an embankment. There are stones and slates around that might have been part of a protective cover or building at one time, but no definite shape can now be made out. There is a short length of rusted metal pipe sticking out of the bank that probably once channelled the water for drinking purposes.
