What is recorded here

The National Monuments Record of Wales records Ffynnon Aelhaern;St Aelhaearn's Well as Holy Well from the Post Medieval period. The saved point comes from the official national record. Inclusion does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
St Aelhaearn's Well is associated with St Aelhaearn, a 6th-century Welsh saint known for his ascetic life and connections to several holy sites in Wales. The well was traditionally visited for its healing properties, particularly for skin ailments and general well-being, and may have been linked to rituals involving water immersion or the collection of blessed water.
