  the Healing Well  ( St Brigit's )  

- no number

 

The Healing Well - according to what a man working on the field next to it told Jane  last summer - this is known locally as a healing well
- people used to queue up at the cottage upstream and come down to it

It has three different stages of masonry work so has probably been rebuilt a few times -
the water in it is about a foot higher than in the nearby stream - it is from a natural spring

It is about 30 metres to the motorway - and is not mentioned in any of the archaeology reports

..how ancient may it be ...?
the folklore report which the Planning Approval for this M3on this route was conditional on - does not seem to exist
