The Stone housed natural spring, is at the side of the road that runs through the village green, past St Cennydd's Parish Church.
"On the village green opposite the church gates is the mouth of a natural spring, St Cenydd's Well, on the upper capstone of which are faint traces of a cross cut into the stone.
The village of Llangennith clusters round a central village green and the church of St Cenydd - the largest in Gower - which was founded in the 6th century, in the days of the undivided Church. According to legend the church was established as a hermitage by St Cenydd; but in 986 the early buildings were destroyed by Vikings. The present structure dates from the 12th century - it was consecrated in 1102 - when Norman war-lords were building castles and churches all over Gower" Text Source: (
