Description St Dwynwen's Well, Anglesey

This is accepted as the most likely candidate for St Dwynwen's Well, also often referred to as Ffynnon Fair

Hmm, not sure about this one, wellhopper. Could St Dwynwen's well have been re-dedicated to St Mary as in Ffynnon Fair ?

I have been told in the past that Ffynnon Fair (St Mary's Well) was often used as a generic name for a Holy Well in general, so quite possibly the two names were used interchangeably. This well appears on maps today as Ffynnon Dafaden - the wart well, from its claimed efficacy in curing warts
