Full Description
Site of well. Dean's Well on the farm of Deyston, was a mineral well 'of great renown'. It was usual before partaking of the water to propitiate the spirit of the well by dropping in a button or pin or such like small offering. It is said to have been very efficacious in febrile complaints. Unfortunately the well has now disappeared.
