>I reckon holy/sacred wells are a justified addition to the site.

Just my opinion, but I don't.

Holy to whom? Sacred to whom?

Come up with a bit of evidence that they were 'sacred' to prehistoric people and yes, they should be added, otherwise,....why?

How many thousands of springs are there in Britain? Should they all be on this site because some think that they all 'may' have been of more significance than merely water sources to prehistoric people?

I notice that <i>this</i> Holywell is classified as a cave/rock shelter; seems fair enough to me. We know that the springs at Bath have prehistoric signficance - and there must be more. But not them all, surely?

Shouldn't holy wells have their own website dedicated to them? It would be a vast resource.
