Religious sites
An ancient well lies in an area renowned for its religious significance, near the original settlement of Porthclew.
Ruins of Chapel
Pre Christian ceremonies may have been held at the well, as early people attached great significance to places where water emerged from the ground. Water is so important to life that a well such as this would have been enshrined. Not far from the well, five stone coffins or 'Cist graves' probably from the early Christian period and another eleven undated burials were uncovered in 2002. It is possible that the later Medieval Chapel of Portclew, which now stands in ruins, formed part of a pilgrim route to St Davids. Little is known of the chapel although it is thought to date from the 15th century during which time it may have been named St Mary's. (Private - Access can be arranged, ask locally)
