Monitoring of groundworks associated with the construction of a student accommodation complex was undertaken between August and December 2016. A post-medieval stone-lined well was uncovered in the course of monitoring. It was sub-circular with dimensions of 1.15m–0.7m internal width by 6.1m deep. The stone lining was internally faced and 0.5m thick. It was constructed with unbonded angular and sub-angular stones. The well was preserved in situ under the development.
