Monument record TR 04 SW 33 - Site of medieval well, Conningbrook Chapel
Summary
A medieval well was excavated in 1981 near the chapel at Conningbrook. The well measured just 2.4m in diameter and was just 1.5m deep but it seems to have worked well and had a long period of usage. Finds removed from the well included 16th century potsherds, roof-tile, iron-nails and animal bones. The well is thought to have served the chapel despite the distance between the two monuments, and it may also have possibly served another building in the area, although no evidence of such a structure has been found to date.
