Indeed. If the forum search were available I'd hunt out the several occasions in discussions about the antiquity of holy wells where I've said something like ...

When you find a good water source you want to stop people pissing in it! What better way than to make it 'sacred'? Also, by erecting a monument/shrine whatever near to it you mark it. This serves several purposes depending upon the society you live in. It could be so that you can find it again if you're nomadic. It could be so that others know it's safe. It could be to say 'this is ours'. It could be just to remind people not to piss in it. It could be any combination of the abovve.
