| Caption: | Six Wells Bottom, Stourton. Looking NW. |
| Description: | Six Wells Bottom, Stourton. Looking NW. Dry valley in Upper Greensand, Stourton. A stream flowed through this valley, probably in Roman times. The well head has great legendary repute, and the legends, coupled with evidence from the Cranborne Chase district, indicate that the water-table was formerly at a higher level than it is now. See 'Excavations in Cranborne Chase', privately printed, 1887, and 'Water supply of Wiltshire' (Mem. Geol. Surv.), 1925, pp.14, 15. |
