Despite being dried up, the old well remains somewhat intact. The wooden roof is still standing. The crank is still in working order. A bucket attached to a long rope is still hanging deep into the well. A hooked pulley is lying on the ground nearby.

Climbing to the bottom, a secret entrance can be found to a secret cavern.

Located south of the walls of Hornhelm, the site appears to have been a small village. Based on the remains, the village appears ancient. The stone buildings have all collapsed, creating a unique pattern around the dried up well. Every single building has collapsed away from the well, spreading out like the petals of a flower.

Peering into the depths of the well, you notice two things. First, you hear shuffling feet and see a flickering light. Second, you notice a severed Orc ear in the bucket below.
