Coventina's Well


Coventina's Well was situated close to Brocolitia Roman fort on Wall Mile 31 of  Hadrian's Wall (east of modern-day Carrawbrough). The well and shrine here was dedicated to the Celtic water-goddess, Coventina. When excavated in 1876, the top of the spring here was choked with stones. Below was found a mass of 13,487 coins and other valuable objects.
