Geocache Description:

From #5, continue down the path and bear left following the signs. Before the ford there's an interesting and overlooked feature


I've passed by this feature several times and not noticed it. When it did first catch my eye, I wondered if it was a hole caused by a fallen tree - but no stump or moot. Then I pondered if it was a small potato cave, perhaps with a long-gone door. But it's too far from the ruined farmhouse up the track and on a bridlepath someone would soon nick any contents.

Then my eyes adjusted and I saw the water. I flashed my bike light up inside and saw it was lined, so this is clearly a spring-head well.

This cache is part of a series which can be done together or independently.
