Figgy Dowdy's Well submitted by KiwiBetsy on 26th Aug 2006. According to RootsWeb.com, this well is also known as Maggy Figgy and Margery Daw and was a popular place to christen your doll on Good Friday. The well has been restored by the Carn Marth Preservation Group and is kept locked as a safety measure. I’m sure Figgy Dowdy would approve of this as the rhyme ….
Figgy Dowdy had a well
On the top of Carn Marth hill
And she locked it night and day
Lest they took her water away
…. is associated with the well.

Log Text: Visted for May Day/Kala' Me. Quiet and with gorgeous views, path was overgrown but visible & once down by the well it was silent except for birdsong. There was a small piece of slate tied to the bars that read "mîm dawes' well" - if anyone happens to know what that might mean I would love to know!

St Euny's Well (Carn Brea) submitted by MawnanIan on 6th Oct 2004. The well is by the stream opposite Carn Brea village hall. It is rather overgrown although the surrounding area is well kept. The story is that if you bathed in the water you would never hang.

Burghead Holy Well submitted by KiwiBetsy on 11th Dec 2004. Burghead Well is hidden behind a very high stone wall in King Street, where it narrows to a footpath only.
Through gaps in a locked gate you can see a neatly mown, sloping, empty section and the stone steps that lead underground. A notice tells you where to collect the key and signs detail the well's possible history. Twenty rock steps descend underground to where a barrel roof covers a chamber about 16 feet square. The well is said to be 4 feet deep and has a 3 foot stone ledge right ar...

Balnuaran of Clava (Stone) submitted by Cosmic on 6th Jan 2004. NH758446
Standing stone to East of Balnuaran of Clava Cairns - only about two hundred yards away but not on OS Map.
Access is along a long straight country lane (from the East, West end blocked off) that was probably drive way to a big house - trees either side.
Stone itself about six feet high.
