Field Visit (5 June 1992)
The well, on the W bank of the Keltie Water, is stone lined; it measures 0.9m in diameter, and is choked with fallen leaves. Some 25m to the NNE, in densely wooded ground, there are the slight remains of a building, now reduced to an overgrown pile of stones measuring 9.5m E-W by 6.7m transversely, and 0.3m in height.
