The cairn is reached via the footpath to the north of the larger Cregennen lake. The cairn is situated to the east of the footpath close to a boundary wall. It is 9m in diameter and slightly raised in the centre. It has been heavily overgrown with gorse but a fire appears to have raised the area leaving only the woody trunks of the plants.
