This well had a pit 1.4m diameter and 1.4m deep with a central shaft, 80cm in diameter, lined with a stave barrel (0803), which was removed by mechanical excavator. The only pottery came from the top10-15cm (0746) and comprised 10 Ipswich sherds and one Thetford ware sherd. The latter can be discounted as later filling of the depression over the shaft.
