What is recorded here

Some 180m S of St Imor's Chapel (GA085-056001-). An underground circular stone-lined well (D c. 1.2m) with three steps at N leading down to the water level. A roughly built modern wall with a gap at N has been built up around the well and it is covered over with a concrete roof. The gap is blocked by a wooden gate. Currently used for domestic purposes, a pump house has been built beside it.

Linked to St. Imor, the well is traditionally associated with healing and pilgrimage, with the nearby chapel suggesting a long-standing devotional site. The steps and stone lining indicate its historical importance, while the modern wall reflects ongoing local reverence.
