"That is the holy well," said my guide: "Llawer iawn o barch yn yr amser yr Pabyddion yr oedd i'r fynnon hwn--much respect in the times of the Papists there was to this fountain." "I heard of it," said I, "and tasted of its water the other evening at the abbey;" shortly after we saw a tall stone standing in a field on our right hand at about a hundred yards' distance from the road.

"That is the pillar of Eliseg, sir," said my guide.

"Let us go and see it," said I.

We soon reached the stone.

It is a fine upright column about seven feet high, and stands on a quadrate base.
