Situated on gradual easterly sloping terrain the cairn lies on fairly level ground. A second cairn lies a few hundred metres away to the north and an ancient settlement site lies between them. This is an area currently undergoing a period of re-wilding that has created a more challenging environment.
This is a large cairn with a 10m diameter. It is raised to about 0.40m at its highest point. The outer edges are turf covered with an interior ring consisting of scree stones of various sizes apparent. The centre has been disturbed and it is grassed over. Caflein have recorded the site as NPRN 543121.
The cairn's location provides excellent views across the valley, the Afon Gam and the surrounding mountains.
