Full Description
NH64NE 125 682 457.
Stone cover over cylindrical stone-built well shaft dislodged by roadmaking work at new roundabout junction on 31st March, 1970. Well-shaft had average diameter of 2' 8" (935mm) - built of uncoursed rubble masonry. Water level at 9' (2.75m) below ground: depth of water estimated as 2' (610mm). Shaft now filled in and covered by new roadway. As cottages at 'Mill Bourn' are shown on the 'General Survey of Inverness' map of 1725, this well must have formed their water supply, to become disused and covered up after the installation of piped water in the 19th century.
E Meldrum 1970.
