The site of an 'ancient' well was discovered by the Reverend Canon Quine at the lower corner of the Glebe, about 130 metres west of Lonan Old Church. The well was triangular in shape and formed of three great blocks of stone set on edge in the bed of a stream. It was likely that it was used for baptism, representing the transition period from the use of living waters to that of the font. It is possible that the cross found here by Canon Quine had originally been set up beside the well.
