Heritage listing
Category C Date Added 17/05/1989 Local Authority East Lothian Planning Authority East Lothian Parish Spott NGR NT 67101 76158 Coordinates 367101, 676158 — Possibly 19th century. Red rubble sandstone circular section tower at head of well, formerly harled. Circa 16' in height; timber lintelled doorway to S, circa 4' high. Tower above apparently solid, with wallhead crumbling. — Sited on high ground to S of Wester Broomhouse Farm, close by a low rubble wall. The unnecessary height of wellhead requires explanation; perhaps it was to serve as a landmark, possibly bearing a fire basket.
