Situated within a moorland pasture that's wet underfoot, the cairn lies on a slight westerly slope to the east of the Afon Gam. A trackway lies 300m to the east as it heads to the uplands towards Craig Aberserw (442m). This is a particularly rich environment for prehistoric activity and several monuments lie within the moor.
The cairn has a 7m diameter and it is raised to about 0.40m. It is heavily overgrown with grass but the small to medium sized stones are visible particularly on the western side.
The site occupies high ground and has extensive views across the moor and the mountains that surround it.
