A well was uncovered during the construction of the Geography Department extension, Aberdeen University. It had an internal diameter of 1.00-1.50m and a surviving depth of 1.50m. The upper two or three courses were built of red brick but the lower courses were drystone. A broken grave slab was found in the well.
