The petrifying waters of the Kell Well
The Kell Well is a spring which runs out from between the layers of Lias rock on the western face of the hill, near the Trent, between Burton-upon-Stather and Alkborough. "Keld" derives from O.N. for spring. This is certainly an ancient site, lying close to Julian's Bower and Roman remains. It is said to petrify - these stones on the stream bed are coated with what looks like lime deposits.
