This well has now been tanked and there is a small reservoir. It is beside an old stretch of track on the footpath leading east from St Anna's church.
The well is said to have been the source of water for Wall Hills hill fort. There was supposedly a secret tunnel from a pair of yew trees formerly on the edge of the camp all the way to the yew that still overshadows the well."
From "The Healing Wells of Herefordshire" - Jonathan Sant (1994 Moondial).
The well is not marked on the OS 1:25000, but the work above gives the NGR as SO6262 5962.
From "Hereforshire Register of Countryside Treasures" (1981) H&WCC:
"Occupying southern and higher portion of flat topped hill. This early Iron-age hillfort is oval-shaped. It covers about 22 acres (8.8 ha.), is surrounded by large 35-40ft single rampart with deep ditch and now has four entrances."
A minor road runs along the eastern side of the fort, which is on private land.
