The official map says its point is accurate as follows: NGR given to the nearest 1m. The record does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
The Covenanters' Well and Pulpit Rock in Larkfield are associated with the 17th-century Covenanters, Scottish Protestants who resisted religious persecution by holding clandestine worship services. The site reflects a tradition of nonconformist preaching and pilgrimage, with the well likely used for ritual purification or as a place of prayer.
