Situated just below the summit of Moel Eglwys the cairn lies below a small grassy spur on the NE side of the summit. Its position provides for very good views of the low lands to the north and east.
The cairn is mostly turf covered but there are numerous areas where the underlying stones are apparent. The cairn has a 6m diameter and it is raised to about 0.25m. There is a small depression of about 0.80m diameter at the top. There do not appear to be any kerb stones visible.
The cairn is difficult to access due to its location, i.e. atop a grassy mountain criss crossed with electrical fencing.
