This past summer (as part of a college course in
          archeology) we found a stone lined well dating to the
          early 1800s.  It was buried below the current surface of
          earth about 2 feet.  In the process we found located several
          dozen artifacts.  So far we have gone into the well only
          about 1 foot.  This coming summer several students will
          continue excavating the well.  This is at site 18FR696 near
          Jefferson, MD.  Nearly every old house in Jefferson either
          has a well or had a well that was filled in for safety.
