::::Yes, the tile above a ramp counts as open space.  You can build wells, grates, hatches etc on downward ramps, even if there's water below.

I've just created a fortress the bowels of a cavern - the only way to make a well would be to siphon some water from the bottom of it.. I don't want any Giant Olm's or anything rushing up through my well :P What I'll do for now is place some bars in the tunnel that leads under the well to the water. But for future reference, can anyone tell me if a creature has ever come up through their well?

Through a stairway or ramp

Is this confirmed? I've built a well over a downward ramp and it seems to be working fine. Haruspex Pariah 02:04, 15 April 2010 (UTC)

Just confirmed that it works through a ramp, but not through a stairwell --Kuroneko 02:49, 15 April 2010 (UTC)
When you say it works through a ramp, do you mean it can reach the bottom part of the ramp through the top one, or do you mean it can reach below the bottom part of the ramp? VengefulDonut 03:27, 15 April 2010 (UTC)
