Quoted message said:

A few years back I was chatting to an ex-Marine who was leading a team
building 'scramble' over Tryfan, and he mentioned that there was a
spring within (I think) 200 metres of the top of Carnedd Llewellyn.

Quoted message said:

I looked for it on a couple of occasions since, but not seen any sign
of it.

Quoted message said:

Can anyone confirm whether this spring exists, and if so, where
(roughly) it is?

The usual route for the Welsh 3000s included a traverse from the path
along the main ridge via the SW side of Llewellyn to the path down to Yr
Elen. At that level (probably about 950m) you cross at least one small
stream. That is certainly within 200m of the summit in terms of height
and the source could easily be as close as 200m horizontally. ISTR that
the stream was about halfway across but memory fades and I haven't been
that way for about 30 years.
