What is recorded here

The National Heritage List for England records Roughtor holy well, 333m south-west of Showery Tor 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.

Roughtor holy well is associated with Saint Michael, who is traditionally linked to the nearby Roughtor hill, a site of both Christian and pre-Christian significance. The well may have been a focus for healing rituals, reflecting a blend of Celtic and Christian traditions common in Cornish sacred sites.
