What is recorded here

On flat poorly drained grassland with nearby well (TS058-026----) 125m to W, church (TS058-025----) and graveyard (TS058-025001-) 177m to S, castle (TS058-028----) 97m to NE. Natural spring well now encased by a modern canopy which appears to have been built around a drystone circular well. On the first (1840) edition OS 6-inch map this well was marked as 'Lady's Well' and the well to the W was marked as Patrick's well. These two wells had their names transferred from one to the other on the 1904 edition OS 6-inch map. Several coins deposited at base of well and now used by the local people as a holy well.
