According to the Megalithic website "Marsden Well stands within a wooded area close to the banks of the River Ribble about 1 mile N of Samlesbury village. The well is a square-shaped structure roughly 12 foot by 8 foot wide and over 5 foot deep. There are five steps leading down, giving access into the water. It is usually three quarters full, even during dry periods.
There is, however, some uncertainty as to the age of Marsden Well. It was probably made into what it resembles today during the 13th or 14th centuries, and has seen some repairs since then. But the spring itself is almost certainly of Saxon origins. Here the masses would have been baptised into the Christian faith by wandering missionaries. It is often referred to as a 'baptistry well' because of that. The name 'Dipping Well' is also given to this site. It literally means where one can dip parts of the body in order to receive some sort of cure, be that miraculous, or not."
