We're on well water here (~300' deep well about 200 yards from the house - out by the barn). Had a local (as in just up the road) well guy come by yesterday afternoon to look at our new find . Old dude and his two sons - turns out the old guy actually dug the active well on our property 20+ years ago! They'll be giving us a quote for properly filling and sealing off the well in our laundry room.

The only wood that we can see is (was) directly over the well. There is a metal collar at the top of the rock column - looks like somebody poured concrete up to the collar, and then laid plywood over the top of the collar - and tile on top of the ply.

The rock work in the well is spectacular - HUGE rocks stacked in a very nicely formed cylinder.
