Holy Smoke, another 6 inches and you would have seen daylight.
We have a dew well going back to the time of Henry VIII, for all
I know he could have taken a slash in it, before he creamed the
local Abbey, indeed the monks used the well for making their beer,
the brewery still stands, now a house, but all the monks died.
The water seems very good, been drinking for 60 years, and
never had hard pad or gout.
