Tregaminion Holy Well submitted by enkidu41 : SW 401359 Also referred to as Morvah Well this has only just been rediscovered and restored. Set some way back from the cliff edge it is beautifully situated - or would be if the detritus of the modern world was removed. (Vote or comment on this photo)

It would be lovely to have some photos of this area. About three years ago I tried to find this one, without success, so it'd be interesting to see if I was anywhere near it!

Excavation took place here in August 2019 (by the Penwith Landscape Partnership). The original well-head was uncovered (now sadly dry) at SW40135 35889, the shaft [illustrated above] which was a later addition, a wall of the original adjoining medieval chapel, and, across the coastal path, a fallen menhir at SW40124 35931.
