Holy Well or Sacred Spring in Perth and Kinross
This well is recorded as Canmore ID 25993 which says: "(1845) Trinity Well is a spring renowned before the Reformation for miraculous cures", adding in 1967: "Trinity Well is now dry and all that remains is an overgrown hollow. A manhole cover nearby suggests that the spring is now piped."
The Northern Antiquarian (TNA) features a page for this site - see their entry for Trinity Well, Trinity Gask, Perthshire, which gives directions for finding this site together with photographs and a brief archaeology & history. TNA notes: "On the day of my 2014 visit, the water was flowing from an issue on the field side of the woodland. There was some low walling on the field side of the enclosure, otherwise no masonry or paving was visible. Any there may have been is now either buried or robbed for building material."
