Holy Well or Sacred Spring in Cornwall. Marked on the 1/25,000 map as a holy well and barely visible as a dot in the centre of a farmers field there-on. There is no footpath but the gate was unlocked and access was not forbidden at least. Wet and muddy underfoot (at least in poor weather) the structure seems sound but is slowly being buried.
