Keepers Well is about forty minutes walk from Druids Well, located near the Keepers Pool, and is a more conventionally shaped well. The pool and well are at least 600 years old, the pool was initially built to stock fish and is more formal than Bracebridge or Blackroot Pools.
The well has been maintained but it looks as though vandals have kicked over part of the wall. A freshwater spring bubbles up at the side of the well.
Note the Comma butterfly basking on the well wall in the first photo, and a close-up of the same insect.
This well is quite photogenic compared to Druids !

...and Keepers Well was capped with a concrete block until recently when the well was opened up and restored.
