Description
The Holy Well of Saint Mylor, located approximately 50 meters north of the Church of Saint Mylor, has medieval origins, although the current structure likely dates from the 19th century. It features shale rubble walling that encloses a natural spring on three sides, with a square doorway on the east side and a large slate slab covering the well. Near the doorway, there are some medieval fragments of dressed stone. This site is historically significant due to the presence of a spring with good water, which may have influenced the selection of the location for both the church and the surrounding settlement.
