Ffynnon Angoeron, Monmouthshire

Ffynnon Angoeron is a holy well near Mamhilad, Monmouthshire. It is a covered spring of probable mediæval date. It is located low within a deep and narrow stream valley that emerges from the eastern slopes of Mynydd Garn Wen. The well is recessed into the southern end of a crudely built wall of undressed Old Red Sandstone and conglomerate blocks, forming a revetment to the uphill slope. Tradition holds that the well has healing properties. It is within the council area of Monmouthshire.
CADW Scheduled Monument MM358.
