Situated high in the Carneddau foothills the cairn lies 60m south of the water channel or sluice that meanders towards Llyn Cowlyd, and 10m west of a narrow stream.
This is a glorious environment with Cwm Ogwen (valley) and the Glyder and Carneddau mountains to the west drawing walkers throughout the year.
The cairn is oval in shape at 9m north to south and raised to about 0.4m. It has been disturbed in two places at it's centre.
