Situated on a level/shelf on an east facing slope the cairn lies partially hidden by tall marsh grasses.
This is a well preserved burial cairn with an array of upright slabs of stone, the tallest about 0.6m in height adorning the circumference like a mini Bryn Cader Faner. I counted 10 uprights of various sizes. The cairn has a 5m diameter and it is almost completely round. The central cist is equally well preserved measuring about 1m by 0.6m. This is a lovely little monument and I'm pleased to include it on this site.
The cairn's location provides for extensive views of the Cwm Mawr valley over towards Cwm Buchan and Bwlch Tyddiad.
