I wasn't expecting too much here today, but I found more than I expected. Basically the well still exists!
I could see a clump of thorn trees through the hedgerow, but was frustrated in my attempts to reach it until I noticed a rusty tubular steel stile buried in the hedge. I managed to scramble through and reach the well.
It is surrounded by a modern wooden fence with a small gap in it for access. Within this a 1m x 50cm stonelined opening (the well) is covered by a sheet of corrugated iron. The water is just 10cm below the ground level, which came as a bit of a surprise.
