This well is in a recess at the base of a west-facing granite wall on the west side of Trencrom Hill. Presumably this was the water supply for the inhabitants of the small hillfort on Trencrom Hill. From the highest part of the hill head north-west along the well-worn path. There is a vague path off to the left that drops down the west side of the hill next to a granite outcrop.
