Notes
There is a well beside this house, which may be the eponymous Ladywell. But note that a short distance uphill is St Mary's Well, Inverness & Bona (q.v.) which, in spite of being further away, is perhaps more likely to the the original and eponymous Ladywell. The site of the building is marked as a ruin on modern OS maps.
