The well is 100m west of St Mary's Chapel in a small enclosure. The word 'GRATIA' can be seen here engraved on its portal. The water is clear, smells slightly sulphurous but tastes OK. A small streamlet issues from it and then disappears down a drain at the northern end. It's listed as a Scheduled Monument https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1018641?section=official-list-entry See also https://www.megalithic.co.uk/article.php?sid=45380
