Just outside Shirenewton is a small water source on Spout Hill. It does not appears to be an ancient source nor associated with any particular saint. Following restoration the well and surrounds were rebuilt in 2000. Fortunately, the benchmark on the lower stone remains. See https://www.bench-marks.org.uk/bm205167 for the entry in the Benchmark Database.
