Holy Well or Sacred Spring in Pembrokeshire (Sir Benfro)
From Coflein:
"1. Restored and cemented. Has been used as baptistry. Well space is 8 1/2ft by 3 1/2ft by 3 1/2ft.
2. A 5m square enclosure, defined by walls c.1.8m high, contains a recently restored well of presumed antiquity, set against the SW wall of St Mary's churchyard. The remains of a medieval cross (Nprn305265) stand between the well and the church."
