Dode Church Well submitted by DavidCWoods on 7th Feb 2005. Sorry about the car ! The well has recently been restored as part of the renovation of the whole site, which is well worth a visit and very atmospheric. Not much was known about the well at the time of my visit, but the intention was to continue exploration if possible.

Visited: Yes. My rating: Condition 5 Ambience 5 Access 5
St Seiriol's Well submitted by AngieLake on 5th Aug 2004. According to the invaluable CADW (Welsh Historical Monuments) booklet, 'Anglesey - A Guide to Ancient Monuments on the Isle of Anglesey' :
"Traditionally, this well was thought to be associated with the early native Welsh monastic settlement at Penmon. Indeed, the well and adjacent 'cell', or chamber, were reputedly linked with St Seriol himself. What survives today, however, is probably very much later. The well is one of many examples in Wales linked with a local saint. Such wells were t...

Presaddfed submitted by pab on 25th Sep 2012. Presaddfed, September 2012
Timber support which features in most photos on Portal has now been removed, so the more southerly chamber looks even better.
Delightful location - the walk over the field feels more like a procession, with the chambers looking more impressive all the time.
