A well is noted in the early mapping of the area; it is uncertain whether this is man-made or simply a natural spring. Either of these possibilities could have supplied the immediate needs of the nearby area. It has been restored 'to commemorate the marriage of H.R.H. Prince Charles and Lady Diana Spencer July 29th 1981'. See plaque http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/5015486
