What is recorded here

In a graveyard (KD035-003003-) c. 14m S of a ruined church (KD035-003001-). According to the OSL (Herity 2002, 70) '… there was formerly a pattern held (at the well) on the 24th of June, St John's Day …'. A natural spring lies in a hollow (diam. 10m; D 1.6m) which is defined by a loosely built dry stone wall. A holy tree (KD035-003004-) stands at the SW edge of the well.
