St. Euny's Well

Well

All the references I have found on the web describe this site as having two wells but I would have thought it was a spring on one side of the path, feeding the holy well on the other side. There are also some remains of a chapel scattered about and the inevitable votive offerings on a nearby tree. I assume the saint in question was the St. Uny of Lelant, rather than the St. Euny of far away Redruth (or are they the same?). It must be possible that this was the original water source for nearby Carn Euny iron age courtyard village. Most interesting way to reach the site is on the footpath that leads from Chapel Carn Brea to Carn Euny, a nice spread of periods in a couple of miles.
