About 1 mile south of Pitmedden stand the site of "the Auld Nursies well", a small roadside well or spring. This well was the source of water for the set of now gone, cottages that stood nearby. The well was constructed in the 18th Century by the local land owner, as part of improvements to the area. The well was used by passing people to water their horses, and later their replacements the traction engines.
