It was owned a well know Masons and it was never used to draw water.

It is called the initiation well which was meant to lead one on a journey of self discovery and rebirth.

You are either go into the darkness or coming out into the light also it could be deemed as Death and Birth.

Sort:  

My name (Craig) means, 'Dweller at the crag' in gaelic... A crag is a cleft in a cliff, or a hole in the ground, a cave, whatnot...

So this appeals to me... A lot...
