What is recorded here

On the E edge of a dried-up watercourse, which may have formed part of an early ecclesiastical enclosure (KD029-005002-) immediately outside, to SW, of a graveyard (KD029-005004-) and medieval church (KD029-005001-). According to Jackson (1979-80, 154-5) the well was a pilgrimage destination and famous for its cures. Several natural springs rise in this area.

Linked to St. James, the well is traditionally associated with healing and pilgrimage, particularly for ailments of the eyes and general physical weakness. It may have been part of a broader early Christian site, given its proximity to a medieval church and graveyard.
