Half under the north-facing exterior wall of derelict Llanllawer church lies this bowl shaped stone depression filled with water which, the aged church warden affirmed, never dries up. It supports the suggestion that this church was built on a pre-Christian site. There is an official 'Holy Well' in the field adjoining. This water-filled stone basin resembles an Irish 'bullaun' See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bullaun
