Holy Well or Sacred Spring in Cambridgeshire

This chalybeate spring arises in a boggy hollow at the edge of a copse by the side of a ploughed field. It is obvious by the rich orange colouration of the water and it flows at a steep angle into the below stream. No structure is apparent or any traces of one, and its history is unclear. However it is believed that the name Nill refers to fairies.
