There appeared to be two spring sites, decorated with offerings, but both were dry. |

(2004-11-16) | Are these springs now extinct?What a sad loss.Perhaps they may return some day when the time is right. | Thorgrim
(2004-11-17) | I believe that they flow after heavy rain and during the winter where the feed "winterbournes". There are a number of streams in Wiltshire called "Winterbournes" because they only appear in the winter (bourne is the same word as the Scottish "burn" - both from the Anglo-Saxon "burna" a spring) | timlangdale
(2006-07-27) | I read somewhere ,according to legend,it starts to flow on mayday. I go to this place about 2-4 times a week.I have seen it flow through 4 springs but never the main one. |
