Considered a prehistoric site and situated on a small island off the east shore of Llyn Conwy this is a wonderfully positioned cairn. Unfortunately, the island is too far from the shore to wade across and explore it in detail.
Llyn Conwy is reached via a track leading from Llyn Cottage just off the B4407 that snakes through the upland landscape (Y Migneint) towards Ysbyty Ifan in the valley below.
