Situated to the north of Llynnau Cregennau the cairn lies a few metres north of the narrow road that leads from the lakes to Arthog. This is an area that attracts visitors and there is a car park close to the most northerly lake. The cairn is just a short walk from there.
The cairn does not attract much attention yet it is quite a feature at the side pf the road. It has a 5m slightly raised diameter consisting of earth and stone with some large boulders mainly on the western side. The interior has been disturbed forming an almos square hole (1.5m) currently overgrown with marsh grass.
Coflein has recorded the cairn as NPRN 780.
