Description
St. Govan's Well is located about 25 meters south of St Govan's chapel, accessible by a flight of rough steps. This well is renowned alongside the chapel for its reputed cures of lameness and eye diseases. Although it was originally fed by a spring, it had been dry for many years by the time it was described in 1925.
The well features a short shaft measuring approximately 0.7 by 0.8 meters. The wellhead building is roughly square, with an opening on the north side that is spanned by a stone lintel. The top of the structure is roughly corbelled, sloping down to the south, east, and west, while rising to a rounded gable on the north side, although it has undergone significant restoration. Additionally, there is a boulder retaining wall on the north side of the well.
This site is listed for its historic interest and its group value with St Govan's Chapel.
