All recorded accounts of both stories risked being destroyed in Mary Stuart's day, as both the pro-wizard factions and pro-clerical factions considered it heretical.  So she collected all books and manuscripts that referenced the well and its origins, which are now in our own private library.  From our analysis of the information it appears that there was a small Carnutes village on the site when the well was created.  During Flavius Aetius's day a Temple dedicated to the Roman God Atlas stood on the site, but was eventually destroyed when barbarian invaders came."</blockquote>
