What is recorded here

Marked on the 1839 and 1925 eds of the OS 6-inch map and described as St. Margaret’s Well in gothic lettering on both. It is situated in the valley of a N-S stream, which is c. 15m to the N and W. The name is known locally, but there is no knowledge of the well. This is a marshy area but there is no visible evidence of a well structure.

Linked to St. Margaret, a popular medieval saint venerated for her protection against childbirth difficulties and snakebite. The well may have been a site of pilgrimage and healing rituals, reflecting broader Celtic Christian traditions of associating holy wells with miraculous cures and saintly intercession.
