medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
I think Miranda Aldhouse-Green also mentions the practice in Pilgrims in Stone, her study of fonts Sequanae (a Gallo-Roman shrine which was Christianised by the C6).
Also numerous references in Francis Jones, Holy Wells of Wales, though this book needs to be treated with care (as I have found to my cost recently!)
