I cannot find a photo for you but I would venture a wild guess you
are referring to the well at St. Magnus Church.
I would suggest you explore the following site:
http://www.orkneyjar.com/orkney/index.html
This page is particularly interesting and related to your question:
http://www.orkneyjar.com/tradition/sacredwater/index.html
You might write the author of this site and pose your question to him
or her. There is a "Contact Me" link on the main menu.
