St Gwyndaf's holy well In an alder glade a short distances south of the church in the village of Llanwnda lies a "holy" well from which a stream issues. Access and appearance has recently been improved following renewed interest in holy wells. It's been speculated that pilgrims rested here on their way to St David's. However there is no historical record of this. "A stone chamber constructed over a stone lined "leat-like" stream. It appears to be a covered well consisting of a large capping stone, circa 1.5m x 0.8m and 0.35m thick, supported at its northeast corner by a large cubic boulder and elsewhere by a 1.40m high drystone wall. The well is open at its north side where the water flows out, whilst on its east side it is also open where there is a kerb stone or step down into the water filled chamber. Although this monument has a capstone covering a chamber and can also be described as cist-like it is most definitely not prehistoric, at least in its present form." (Dyfed Archaeology)
