Cairn in Gwynedd. The cairn is situated along the Cambrian Way. It is high above Llyn Trawsfynydd (lake) on a marshy col to the south of Cysgod Y Gwynt (shadow of the wind). The footpath passes to the north of the cairn.
The cairn is rounded with a cist that has been disturbed. It is 5m in diameter and raised to 0.4m at it's highest point.
The ancient trackway continues West passing through Cwm Moch (valley of the pigs) where It meets the Ardudwy Way.
