I'm not sure the location of the step well (anyone?) but we should add these sites to our database.
Ashokan Stupas
Popularly believed, though not proven without doubt to have been built by Ashoka, the Buddhist Emperor of India, these stupas stand at four different corners of Patan, giving the whole city a monastic character. All these Buddhist mounds were built in 250 A.D.at the time when Buddhism was making headway in the Kathmandu Valley.

I also found this interesting if somewhat disorganised article that I'd not seen before
