Yep, that's new modern stuff and the average depth. The old wells back on the farm were lined with built up
field stone and took sometime to build one as they were laid just so, so they would not collapse. Then they put either a wooden top on them or form them and pour about a 4" concrete slab on the top with a hole in the center to drop the bucket on a rope or chain down to haul the water up or they installed a hand pump.
