Located along the D50 road heading towards Callac, near the fountain of seven saints, the fountain was built in 1550.
It has been registered as a historical monument since 1913. It is believed that it is so called because a cock was probably sat on the top of the original wooden cross.
It is composed of twin fountains, built in the style of the renaissance, feeding three shallow basins used for ablutions.
Against the wall is a stone bench which allowed pilgrims to rest.
