Ffynnon Cybi is a medieval holy well located in Wales, traditionally associated with Saint Cybi, a sixth-century Celtic saint venerated across Wales and Cornwall. The site represents an important example of the continuation of sacred spring veneration within Christian practice, whereby pre-Christian water sources were Christianised and incorporated into the devotional landscape of medieval Wales. The well itself reflects typical medieval Welsh sacred site characteristics, serving functions both ritual and potentially therapeutic, drawing pilgrims seeking the saint's intercession and the curative properties attributed to the water. Though its physical fabric has undergone changes across the centuries, the site remains archaeologically significant as evidence of medieval religious practice and the persistence of holy well traditions in Welsh Christianity.
