A nearby plaque explains that the well head and associated pump and trough were excavated in 1990-91 by a local history society. The stone-lined well is 5 metres deep, but its age is unknown: Bramhope was well established as a village by medieval times but there were settlements in the area as long ago as the Roman period.
