History
One of a group of three wells supplying water to the village. In 1883 Dr William Salmon, concerned for the public health of the area, donated community wells to serve the villages of Penllyn and Graig Penllyn, but the springs were probably used, before being enclosed, back to medieval times. Restored and landscaped in 2000 as part of a Community Millennium project.
Exterior
Rectangular well cut partly into rock. Masonry bridge to east. Outflow into stone walled channel.
Interior
Reason for designation
