This was associated with the Abbey, whose part ruins and church are nearby. It is said to be visited by thousands of pilgrims in the Middle Ages and held in great veneration by them.
Now on private land, but traditionally access was given and thought within living memory, said to be curative. It can just be seen down a lane into the garden near the Abbey.
