The barrow lies in a field about 0.5k south of Cerrigydrudion. It is visible as a raised grassy mound to the east of the A5 road that links Corwen with Betws Y Coed. The A5 is a busy road but a pavement runs along the western side of the road. A gate allows access to the site but this is private land and permission should be sought from Cronglwyd Farm.
The barrow is raised to about 1m and it appears to be sub circular. The circumference has been estimated to be 73 paces (Gwynnedd Archaeological Trust) and there are signs of interference.
