A stone-built well of possible medieval date at 4-6 Evesham Street, Alcester.

Notes about this historic site

1 The well consisted of a circular shaft approximately 1.1m across and lined with walling made up of small to medium sized limestone rubble. These appeared to be of dry-stone construction. The only dateable material consisted of two fragments of 13th/14th century pottery recovered from the backfill of the well which was probably contemporary with is abandonment. The well was overlain by the foundations for early 19th century street frontage buildings.
