The cairn is about 4.5m in diameter but it lies low and could be easily overlooked because it is overgrown with grass. However, stones protrude in places suggesting a circular structure. There is some debate as to whether this is the site of a cairn, or that of a hut circle. A survey by G. Smith in 2002 noted that there is no obvious central hollow to suggest a hut rather than a cairn. However, this is a difficult site to interpret. Having visited the site I would err on this being a cairn. It's position would have made it visible from much of the Afon Eidda valley below, quite typical of cairn sites in the area.
