Figure of the Cistern or Well at High Rochester, 9 feet long by 7 feet 5 inches wide, and in depth, when it would be full of water, from four to five feet; near to this, the stone with the three naked figures was found. It was shut in by a flag on iron rollers on the lowest step. This flag was rolled into a groove in the side wall in order to give admission to the cistern or bath.
