as Lady’s Well, although the earlier map shows numerous springs. It is situated in a slight fold on a gentle S-facing slope and at the bottom of an E-facing scarp. The well is a clay-cut hollow (diam. c. 2m) surrounded by some quartz stones and obscured by bushes. It is now dry and there is no evidence of veneration. Tobernacrohanebha Well (WX030-037----) is c. 30m to the NNE.
