Butterwell. Probably mid-late C17, maybe earlier. Granite stone rubble including some large roughly-dressed slabs. Plan and description: the well has been excavated into the ground down to the water table. The head of water is enclosed in a square-headed recess approximately 1.75m high and roofed with a massive granite slab at ground level. The sunken area in front (west) of the well is rectangular. It is paved and walled with granite and on the north side a flight of granite steps rises to ground level. The well opening has the fittings for a doorway and any shelves inside the well housing have since been removed.
