What is recorded here

On level ground, c. 15m to the N of a small stream and c. 40m to the SE of a church (GA14-066001-). This is a natural spring well in a rock cut depression (L 1.5m; Wth 0.75m). A small rectangular cut-stone block with a mortise hole on its upper face lies beside it. A possible penitential station (GA114-066005-) lies c. 5m to the SW. A second well (GA114-066004-) lies just across the stream to the S. It may also have had some religious significance. A children's burial ground (GA114-066003-) lies c. 15m to the SW.
