The thing wiv wells is not all are - I refuse to believe Orkney has several thousand, especially when you find them cheek by jowl in places that have always been sparsely populated. See, I can state a con ;-)
Anyroad up.
1) Things are used for purposes other than those originally intended, like souterrains filling up with water [Crantit ?].
2) Form doesn't necessarily follow on from function, so even 'proper' archaeologists are finding that a feature's designation as well ain't always holding water [probably Breckness].
3) Archaeology is not architecture, besides man-made there is man-adapted/adopted [Whitecleat and other rockcut wellsprings].
