What is recorded here

Descirbed as Tobermurry - Mary's Well - on the 1839 and 1923 eds of the OS 6-inch map. It is situated towards the bottom of a SE-facing slope of a NE-SW ridge, with spurs of the hill extending to the E and S within c. 500m, and at the source of a NW-SE stream. It is a stone-lined and lintelled well with a granite cross (H 0.58m; Wth 0.47m) with square-cut arms (dims. 16cm x 15cm) that is probably modern.
