TheCaptain visited on 20th Aug 2019 Marked as Cairn and "Pile of Stones" on the various OS maps, this is a stone cairn on a rock outcrop, part of a low craggy outcrop at the southern end of the flat plateau of Gwaun Cerrig Llwydion. The cairn is 3m in diameter and 0.75m high. The area of the rock outcrop is called Garn Fawr but this appears to be a large marker cairn rather than a burial monument.
Coflein Record NPRN 246524.
