I came across a record of a well that had been dug under a barn in
Oxfordshire which I suppose could be described as a bottle well. The
shoulders had been excavated because they had come across a layer of chalk
& had tunnelled sideways to extract as much as they could to use & sell.
The well was intended to supply water for livestock & was filled in when
the barn was sold off in the 1970s.
