What is recorded here

The National Heritage List for England records Holy well 30m north west of St Levan's Chapel as a scheduled monument. The saved point comes from the centre supplied by the official record. Listing does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
Linked to St Levan, a 6th-century Cornish saint, the holy well is traditionally associated with healing and was historically visited for its supposed curative properties, particularly for eye ailments. Pilgrimages to the site were common, and customs such as leaving coins or making offerings in the well reflect longstanding local devotion.

The historic-place record does not grant public access. Check current conditions and ownership before entering land or a building.
