Description
-
- This is the brick lining of a well. All the interior faces (or face as circular) are headers. 8 courses down there are 2 holes, and the course below (actually same course - spiralled) there is another two. These look like they are meant for two beams or other structural accompinement, to aid in the use of the well. The exact depth is so far unknown. Towards the west of the structure a few extra bricks have been used behind the main lining. This could be to make it better fit the construction cut, or they may just be used with the backfill, and not intended as the structure proper. When large gaps have appeared between bricks, broken pieces have been used to occasionally fill these gaps. Some of the bricks lower down the well look as though they were used when they were broken or half-bricks.

Description
- Bricks
- 230mm length, 105mm width, 67mm height
- Regular
- Headers
- Lining of a wall
- Face circular - so N,S,E,W
- Height if 4 courses - 0.27m
- Length 2.01m,Width 1.96m, Depth at least 1.83m
- Not yet completely excavated. The courses actually spiral downwards, they are not just built on top of one another. On closer inspection, the bricks all seem to be part of one course that spirals downwards. Removal of the bricks has found that they are often in front of smaller ones filling the left over space to the edge of the construction cut.
