puteal
A puteal (Latin: from ''puteus'' (well) — plural: ''putealia''〔(Wiktionary — Puteal )〕〔(Venetian Wellheads @ Venipedia ). Accessed May 25, 2012.〕) is a classical water well wellhead built around a well's access opening.
==Description==
The enclosure keeps people from falling down a well otherwise open at grade level.〔John Weale, ''Rudimentary Dictionary of Terms Used in Architecture, Civil, Architecture, Naval, Building and Construction, Early and Ecclesiastical Art, Engineering, Civil, Engineering, Mechanical, Fine Art, Mining, Sur-veying, Etc., to Which Are Added Explanatory Observations on Numerous Subjects Connected with Practical Art and Science''. (London: J. Weale, 1849), pg. 364.〕 When fit with a cast iron lid, as traditionally in the public squares, or ''campos'', of Venice, Italy, both the citizens and water supply were protected.〔
They were used as an accessible point of water distribution, and as an aesthetic architectural element. Locations included public town squares and private courtyards.〔
