Description Trying to get a good picture of all of the Leechwells is difficult without a wide-angled lens. Three rectangular apertures are visible here, (the smaller is far left, just right of the greenery, and its neighbour above the pile of earth) plus two troughs (one just right of the pile of earth, and its neighbour central foreground) and the corner of another. It's a slippery place to stand!

Visited again this week and noticed that the two rectangular apertures on the left are for the purpose of draining rainwater, via smaller holes on that side, from a steep lane on the other side of that wall into the well basin.
