I'm glad you and others like ur sacred well here in Trelleck, Monmouth. The eggs you noticed are left on the tree's as an offering at the Sabbat of Ostara. I'm glad also you didn't remove any of the offerings to our Black Goddess Annis, who is the Goddess of the sacred well; as the offerings , both Christian and pagan are sacred offerings. The well and the whole area is very sacred and tells the story of the Divine Drama.. that of the Goddess and the God. the Well is of female energy, that of the Goddess, the womb. the three Harold stones some 4mins walk away, are aligned to the winter solstice and the three stones symbolise the AWEN, the triple rays that represent the Equinoxes and the Solstices. The rays face outtowards the sacred Mound, the symbol , like that of Glastonbury Tor, of the Goddess and her womb. Just ahead of the mound, is the Druidic altar, that also faces North in the Churchyard of our Parish Church of St Nicholas. The altar represents the Goddess and "woman", for in the old days, woman was the altar, the origin of all things. I hope that is of help to you and hope you visit the sacred well again. I am pleased to say the well , and also the Harold Stones are often used ceremonial by both us Witches, Druids and our brothers and sisters of the Christian tradition. I led personally an interfaith ceremony at the Harold Stones at the Litha Sabbat (Summer Solstice) in 1994, which was broadcast live on BBC Radio Wales. The area is truly magickal and my husbands family are all from the area, and the tales of the area are very powerful and truly inspiring to us as a Celtic people. Anyway, thanks for promoting our sacred well and do visit it often! Blessed Be. Julian Riley BA.Th High Priest of the HomoMoot www.sorchartarot.com/hommoot homomoot@aol.com Hello kirsty.

In Mediterranean countries, people leave little tin votive plaques of feet and so on at shrines in thanks for healing (a custom that goes back to ancient pagan times) - the sock and the underpants seem similar. The trees at the Chalice Well in Glastonbury also have offerings on them; I think it looks pretty. Beautiful photos.

We didn't see the tump but we did visit the stones, which was also fun. I did a bit of a rude dance around them with a bottle of cider! I figured someone had added them at Easter.
