Ffynnon Eidda stands by the B4407, near the junction of the road to Penmachno at 484m above OD, and faces south-east. It consists of a basin at ground level within an open-fronted stone structure, itself approached through an ante-chamber. The structure is 2.4m high, 2.4m wide and 1.9m deep, with stone walls and a monopitch slab roof. The basin is 1.1m square, still water-filled. A large stepped lintel over the basin bears three engraved tablets, reading 'Ffynnon Eidda, Yf a bydd Ddiolchgar, 'Rebuilt', '1846'. The ante-chamber measures 3.3m square overall, with stone walls 0.9m high, and an offset entrance. The well provided water for travellers and their animals, and as stated, was rebuilt in 1846. It lies on a drove route and is possibly associated with a nearby enclosure (NPRN 419700).
