In a slight natural dip c. 20m W of a children's burial ground (CL038-007002-). The well is located at the junction of two former field boundaries in a rushy area some 40m NW of a stream. Named 'St John's Well' on the 1840 OS 6-inch map. The well is marked by a long thin upright slab along a rough wall and a curving slab partly covers the opening. Although there are no votive offerings or statues present, bottles and cups indicate its use for water and it is said locally to have had a cure for eye complaints.
