This spring comes from the hill on which stands a delightful, small chapel dedicated to Our Lady, hence the dedication. Now the water flows from a pipe in a stone wall.
The surround is recent and unapologetically Christian with a Chi-Rho symbol. A drinking trough (19th Century?) is located nearby and is presumably associated with this spring.
The water has been by the townsfolk for many centuries and is noted for its purity.
