St Piran Holy Well - Trethevy, Cornwall - Spring Houses on Waymarking.com

"The holy well is a simple pyramidal structure of slate with a small square doorway. In its present form it is unlikely to be mediæval but must sit on the site of an ancient spring. In the 19th century a pump, whose remains can be seen at the back of the building, was inserted into the well-house, to provide a more accessible water supply for the hamlet. A granite cap on top of the well’s roof, surmounted by an iron cross, is of uncertain origin. Some say it may be the remains of a simple early font; others that it might be a corn bushel or a mortar."
