What is recorded here

Described as a ‘Rag Well’ in gothic script on the 1839 and 1940 eds of the OS 6-inch map, and situated on a very steep W-facing slope down to the N-S River Barrow/Nore. This is a natural spring in a rock pool that overflows into a muddy stream. There is no structure at the spring and there is no evidence that there was ever a rag tree or that it was ever venerated.
