What is recorded here

The National Monuments Record of Wales records Ffynnon Cynhafal, Llangynhafal; Ffynnon Gynhafal, Llangynhafal; St Cynhafals' Well, Llangynhafal 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 Cynhafal is a lesser-known Welsh saint associated with the well at Llangynhafal, traditionally believed to offer healing properties, particularly for skin ailments and general well-being. The well's name and location suggest a long-standing Christian tradition, with the saint's name derived from the Welsh "Cynhafal," meaning "early dawn," possibly symbolizing renewal and spiritual awakening.
