A modern stone wall surrounds this picturesque little roadside well. The well is also accompanied by a very shiny marble sign - "Glen Mass Rock". I am presuming that this refers to a tall piece of rock just outside the new enclosure to the rear.
The well stands beneath an ash tree and was covered by a sheet of corrugated iron to protect it from the autumnal leaf-fall no doubt. The protective cover was covered in leaves, which I brushed away before lifting it. Unfortunately, this didn't stop a few falling in when I took a look inside.
A vertical, stone-lined shaft around 1m deep leads down to some very clear water. If the cover is removed in the summer this must look quite delightful in the mid-morning sun.
