Description


SW 72 NW GWEEK

8/122 Well at approximately 90 metres
- south east of Carwythenack
Farmhouse

GV II


Well associated with the demolished mansion Carwythenack. Probably early C18. 5
granite steps lead down to a rectangular well with coursed granite rubble retaining
walls. On the shorter south wall opposite the steps there is a granite spout from
which the water issues into a sump at the bottom of the steps. One of the steps is a
reused piece of granite with a hollow chamfer.
The well was probably built in association with the now demolished circa early C18
mansion Carwythenack of which only the garden walls and gate-piers q.v. survive.

boundaries were changed.
