The site demonstrates a way of life no longer practiced.
The well was one of the many provided by the Government at regular intervals throughout the country side to facilitate travel and settlement. The well was used to water the horses when wheat was carted by horse and wagon, and was used by farmers for carting water, especially in the dry years. Horses were watered here and the school children who rode horses to school took them to the water trough at the well at lunch time. Now there is a stand for water carting, fed by scheme water.
