What is recorded here

Marked on the 1839 and 1925 eds of the OS 6-inch map and described as St. Martin's Well in gothic lettering on both. It is situated on a slight W-facing slope with a N-S stream c. 70m to the W and an E-W road c. 20m to the N. This is a rectangular stone-lined well with a low concrete wall built on top (ext. dims 1.7m N-S; 1.55m N-S; D 1.2m). It is still visited, although partly overgrown with furze. There is no record of a pattern and no evidence of veneration, although it is known locally as St. Martin’s Well. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 22 July, 2013
