What is recorded here

At the base of a S-facing hillside adjacent to an E–W valley floor. This well is depicted on the Down Survey (1655-6) map of Taghsheenode and Moydow parishes where it is annotated 'a well & Elme Tree' (NLI MS 719). It comprises a circular well (ext. diam. 2.7m) enclosed by a wall of roughly coursed drystone masonry (max. H 1.15m; Wth 0.62m) to which concrete has been applied in places. Water flowing from a small opening at SSW feeds a small stream. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 7 June 2013
