Turn right/east off the A470 at Pont Marteg. When the small single file road bends sharply left park off the road by an information board. Then walk west/left you cant miss it, just don't climb too high, stay below the rocks.
Marteg valley is in a superb position above the river with good views west into the high cairn topped mountains. The small kerb cairn has several large kerb stones and a long straight stone in the centre, perhaps being whats left of a cist.
