Cadw's description
Location
Located at the E end of the hamlet of Ffynnon Gynnydd, at the corner of the road to Painscastle, set in the road verge.
History
St Cynidr was the son of Kehingeyr or Ceingeir, daughter of Brychan, and was probably the patron saint of Glasbury. A pre-Norman church associated with the holy well was probably located nearby and a field across the road opposite is known as Cae Ffynnon. Its former significance was still remembered as a wishing well up to 1949.
