Chalybeate well where Robert Burns bathed in 1796 during his
last illness. Roughly L-plan, existing rubble retaining walls
built in present form in 20th century.

For further on Burns and his visit to Brow Well see Robert
Thornton, WILLIAM MAXWELL to ROBERT BURNS, 1979. (Maxwell of
Kirkconnell was Burns' friend and physician, on whose advice
Burns bathed here).
Listing recognises historical importance of site, but
category C(S) only since minimal architectural importance
attaches to the stonework.
