'A healing well at Caer Gybi was once covered by a building'.
A spring or well, associated with the cult of St Cybi, whose church is set within the walls of a probable Roman strongpoint some 112m to the south (NPRN 27500). According to an unconfirmed report, on landing from Ireland the saint struck the ground with his staff and a spring sprang forth.
The well can be identified with a structure in the grounds of Rosemount depicted by the OS 1st edition 1:500 Town Plan of 1888/9. This is a square feature, roughly 1.2m across, apparently approach by a flight of four steps on the south-east and three on the south-west. It is now concealed below or close to, Church House.
