Holy Well or Sacred Spring in Lincolnshire
This is a bubbling spring, which runs out from between the layers of Lias rock on the western face of the hill, near the Trent, between Burton- Stather and Alkborough. Keld deriving from O.N for spring and this is certainly an ancient site laying close to Julian's Bower and Roman remains. No traditions are associated with it but it is said to petrify and remains were found in the area, but these were more likely to be fossilised crinoids, a star fish relation.
