Remarks:
Obviously a product of the first half of the 20th c; the concrete is poorly made, as evidenced by the hole in the center; reinforced with the 3/8" rebar, however where rebar is exposed, it is basically rusted through; the measurements given above are only for the portion of the concrete cap in square 2; the total dimensions of the well cap are 4.5m x 5m x .15m
