Found to the east of and above Llyn Brenig at the northern part of Clocaenog forest. Park next to a monster wind turbine and walk 250m down a seldom used muddy track and the barrow is just visible through the trees on the left.
Despite the almost overwhelming forest the barrow is still about 8ft tall and in relatively good condition, an inevitable scoop has been taken out of the top, and the entire site is covered in several inches of wet spongy moss. The trees even sheltered me from the rain somewhat letting me take some photos and sit for a while. Because of the trees I can't tell whether it ever had a good view, but it sits on the edge of an eastward sloping hill so would presumably have been visible on the horizon from far off.
