What makes the combination quietly interesting is not what has been confirmed about it, but what has been ruled out. The drystone wall does not appear on the 1913 edition of the Ordnance Survey six-inch map, meaning it post-dates that survey, and there is no indication that it follows the line of any earlier enclosure. The well itself carries no obvious archaeological significance. In a landscape where almost every field boundary and water source tends to attract some claim of antiquity, the straightforward absence of such claims is, in its own way, worth noting.
