What is recorded here

This is a spring well for a stream which runs eastward parallel to the River Tar which it eventually joins. The well is c. 70m N of the River Tar. It is in low-lying terrain at the base of a ridge which rises to the NE of a stream and runs SE-NW, parallel to a stream, in pasture. There are no visible remains of the well above ground. It is described by Power (1908, 20) as a holy well and church (TS088-040002-). The well is not marked as a holy well on either the 1840 or 1907 OS 6-inch map.
