Situated on the eastern fringes of a large cairn field this is one of two funerary cairns lying at the corner of a pastoral field. A trackway meanders northwards towards the Cefnhirfynydd farm some few metres further east. Coflein has recorded the site as NPRN 509344.
The site has been disturbed resulting in it resembling a kidney shape. It measures 7m by 3.5m and it is raised to about 0.40m. It is turf covered with protruding stones around the S and W arcs of the kidney shape. It currently sports a large thistle on its south side arc.
As mentioned this is a pastoral landscape that does not attract many walkers. However, if you're comfortable with curious cattle and sheep then it may be worth a visit.
