A well discovered to the rear of 25b Broad Chare. 1.16 metres in diameter and 6.5 metres deep. The culvert immediately to the east of the well has a stone east side and brick west side. Heavy stone slabs covered the drain and there were stone flags at its base. The drain probably originally ran down the centre of what was Rewcastle Chare. No dating evidence was recovered from it.
