Dedicated to St Mary this holy well can be found at the side of a footpath in Llanrhos. The well had been lost and covered up until 1993 when flash floods in the area caused widespread damage. It was rediscovered during the clearing up operation. The nearby church of St Hilary's was originally dedicated to St Mary and is believed to have a close association with the well. The well is just off the public footpath through a wooden gate. There is an information sign on site.
