Situated within the bwlch or col between Craiglaseithin and Moel Oernant the site is described by Coflein as being the location of a ring cairn consisting of a 9m diameter low stone bank? Having visited the site I'm not that convinced but then again I haven't been privy to any existing archaeological survey or recorded information concerning the site beyond that of the Coflein entry. However, I am aware that there are ancient settlement sites in close proximity, and that there's a cairn a few metres to the NW so the site may well contain a ring cairn?
My photographs and descriptions are therefore the observations I made during my recent visit.
