The well was located north-west of another well and was smaller in dimensions being 1.50m x 1.70m x 2.55m deep, steep near slightly concave to near vertical sides, flat base. There was a wicker lining, 1m in height, preserved in situ at the base of the well in the waterlogged layers. The primary fill also contained leather items, a degraded structural timber (possibly the upper lining or well head superstructure) and a timber windlass. Pottery from the well suggests it was filled in at the end of the 18th century.

A large group of pottery from one hundred and sixty-seven vessels was found in the well. Only two vessels show evidence for deposition in a waterlogged environment and although only one cross-context join was proved a few vessels have similar profiles but are in different conditions. A number of the sherds are in a fresh condition suggesting that at least some of the material represents primary discard. The lowest fill contained only four black and brown-glazed earthenware vessels. Above this, another fill produced four sherds including two slipware vessels and a small Nottingham Stoneware jar. The twenty-one vessels found in an additional fill include a high proportion of tablewares (15 vessels). Most of these Creamware vessels are of high quality and include plates, dishes, bowls, cups and a possible chamber pot. It is unlikely that this range of vessels broke in the course of ordinary use and the group may represent the results of an accident or a clearance. Two more Creamware sherds came from a fill. The largest group of one hundred and eight vessels was recovered from the upper fill. This group represented a wider range of pottery types of mainly mid to late 18th century date. The group includes large bowls, jars and chamber pots in black and brown-glazed earthenwares as well as a number of vernacular drinking vessels in finer versions of these fabrics and a range of slipware dishes and cups. The Creamwares include a range of plates and bowls, some of which have painted Chinese-style decoration. Also included is a small fragment from a Chinese Porcelain drinking bowl and two early Pearlware vessels of late 18th to early 19th century date. A small fragment from a lid-seated teapot or jar in red stoneware is an unusual find. This assemblage includes some high quality
vessels suggesting that it came from a well-to-do household. A large group of ceramic building material was recovered from the well. The material includes fragments from nearly one hundred different handmade bricks, although many of the pieces are small and abraded. A wide range of brick fabrics occur, although all of the bricks appear to be of late medieval to early post-medieval type. The assemblage also includes two unglazed floor tiles of similar date and an early pantile fragment that may belong to later 17th or 18th centuries.

A posthole situated 3m south of the well apparently contained a group of fifty-seven vessels comprising a range of coarsewares and finewares including a porcelain tea bowl and a small Pearlware strainer. This group is very similar in character to well fill (there is also one cross-join between these two features) and was probably deposited as part of the same activity sometime between the late 18th and early 19th centuries. A single late medieval to post-medieval flat roof tile was also present. Given that the posthole was almost completely removed by a pit, was only 0.07m deep and no finds were recorded at the time of excavation, it is probable that the finds assigned to the posthole were mis-numbered and were in fact from the fill of the well. (It was suggest perhaps that pit/posthole was a little earlier than the well. The pit contained no finds.)
