In the garden of the house called Ffynnon Sulien, at the bottom of a steep bank.

An early documentary reference to the existence of a well occurs in 1564, and although it is not a substantiated holy well, the site has long been accorded special significance locally, and was said by Samuel Lewis to be 'efficaceous in the cure of rheumatic complaints'.

A rectangular tank formed from slate slabs and fed by a spring.
