This Roman well (it is not sacred) has a well and a trough and it is dated from the 2nd century AD. It is located at the old Roman Road that connected Ayamunte and Sevilla. An east-west road through the province of Huelva.
The trough is known as 'half League Pillar' as it is 2,5 km from Trigueros, an old place for animals rest.
The well is not sacred but I had no other keyword. The water tastes very good!
The nearby village of Trigueros has a local ancient festivity end of januari, in which they bless the pigs and they throw food at a procession - the Festas de San Antonio Abad.
