Situated within a field known as Ffridd Can Awen and lying close to the Hiraethog Trail that meanders from Pentrefoelas village towards the northern lakes of Alwen, Aled and Aled reservoir, the cairn stands out within the field as a large high clump of mixed vegetation. The cairn itself is quite small. At 3m diameter and 0.25m high it needed the vegetation overcoat to make an impression. However, there is an interesting earthwork, a linear depression leading south from the cairn site that suggests a trackway?
