The settlement is situated on a raised level that is to the east of a narrow country lane that leads to the Cregennen lakes. The settlement is visible from the lane but there is limited parking should you wish to visit the site.
The site comprises of a Large enclosure (17m diameter) that has a hut circle on its south side. However, a later ruined dwelling with associated field systems lies about 30m to the north east.
The site has extensive views along the valley that leads down to Dolgellau, and of the surrounding mountains.
