Probably an early C19 structure (the period in which the village itself was developing). The well is probably one of the sources of water supply referred to in reports of the Rural Sanitary Authority in the 1870s suspected of being contaminated, but found on testing to be pure.
The structure comprises a well chamber built into bank and set within a length of retaining wall with short returns. The wall is roughly coursed rubble and the well-chamber has arched entry with rough voussoirs, and stone vaulted roof. Capped drain in base.
Listed as a fine and well-preserved example of a well-house in its village context.
