Just a had a look at some online map info for the earliest available O/S map for my area which is about 1845 - not exactly ancient, but its interesting - theres three wells marked on the map within sight of my house, one would have been in a ploughed field immediately in front of the property. Theres nothing there now to indicate there were ever any dwellings, and im assuming the three wells would have been manmade and not natural, but im going to try and 'find' the one opposite with the rods as a practical experiment.
