Initially mistaken for random bits of timber, the find has now been identified as an ancient wooden well, shedding light on how communities accessed water during that era. The excavation, conducted ahead of a proposed housing development in an area rich with Roman and Anglo-Saxon artifacts, revealed a wooden platform crafted from planks and roundwood.
