What is recorded here

Situated at the S edge of a fairly level landscape with a small canalised stream c. 70m to the S. St Bridget’s Well is c. 30m W of the church (ME030-029----) and is attached to a N-S drain at a point where it turns W and then resumes a S course. It was overlooked by an elm tree in the nineteenth century when the inscribed stone (ME030-019002-) was originally kept there (Cogan 1867 2, 269). No well structure is now visible.
