Although the well has an ancient history, the date of the present well-house is uncertain, and may be from the early C19.
Rectangular well house in grey stone. Camber-headed doorway with iron gate, and steps down to vaulted cistern. To L, stone step (or seat?). On R side, plaque has inscriptions in Welsh and English:-
"Y Fynnon Fawr"
"Mae Dwr Yn Fendith Angenreidol
Rhoddes Duw Inni Ar Lawr;
Cofiwyn 'Awdur Pob Daioni'
Wrth Yfed Dwr O 'r Fynnon Fawr'
"Water Is A Necessary Blessing
Which God Has Given Us On Earth;
Let Us Remember 'The Author Of All Goodness'
As We Drink From Fynnon Fawr".
