The well used to be connected to the Gower water supply but the water works have just been flattened. We went in search of it and found it capped off by a locked metal cover.

Would anyone be interested in joining me in trying to get it restored? I
don't have any experience in this kind of thing so any tips or pointers
would be welcome :) I suppose I thought I would start with Welsh Water,
the Council and whoever promotes tourism on the Gower??

Site Description

Site Description:
There are notices of a curative well on Cefn Bryn, at which pins were offered. The spring recorded here is a "bubbling well" set within a modern wall, with a heap including shaped stones to the S possibly indicating the presence of a former structure. No evidence is given to connect the walled spring, which functions as reservoir feeder, with the notices of a pin-well.
