Caption: Fort Montego Well marker
Additional Description: Near the armoury is a well with a marker that reads: Fighting wars and defending property requires securing resources. Water is a major resource. This well supplying fresh water to the fort was essential. It is a cylindrical shaft built with brick and cutstone enabling water to be drawn for (sic, from) one of the streams that run underground into the bay. It has been modified by adding a wooden covering and a shingle roof. Today it is also used as a wishing well by those visiting the site.
