In English known as the Roman Well, it takes its name from the tradition that Roman copper miners, like their bronze age predecessors, used its waters to wash the copper ores mined nearby. Roman coins have been found near the well. An older name for the well is said to be ffynnon lletyr Madoc - the well of Madoc’s lodgings. Likely ancient site, possible sacred spring/healing well.
