not to get into the argument as to whether sacred wells are over sized puddles but Goffik if you look under Holy Wells of Somerset, Storguersy, has a well very near to a barrow, and the authors(Horne or Tongue) mention another barrow that has a spring by the side. It seems our St.Alpage well on Landown was probably a pilgrims holy well on the way to Glastonbury...

More ammo! Thank you...

Best not say owt else lest the unconverted kick up again!

Lots of info about Somerset holy wells here - http://www.bath.ac.uk/lispring/sourcearchive/fs2/fs2jh1.htm (can't remember if we've been here already so thought I'd re-post it!)
