The cairn is situated on high ground to the east of Llyn Conwy. The outcrop beneath the cairn appears made primarily of white quartz. Although the cairn is in a state of poor preservation the remaining rocks that would have covered it seem to be quartz. This suggests that the cairn would have presented as a gleaming white monument on the hillside.
The cairn has a diameter of 7m and there is a 0.2m depression in the centre. It can be reached by following a fisherman's path to the east of the lake. Llyn Conwy can be reached via a trackway from Llyn Cottage just off the B4407 link road from Llan Ffestiniog to Ysbyty Ifan.
