Situated in the uplands above Friog the site can be reached by car along the narrow gated road that leads from Llwyngwril to Dolgellau. Coflein has identified this cairn as prehistoric NPRN 500765. The cairn lies about 100m south of the road within an area that has several cairns and stone piles. However, this cairn lies at the edge of the cairn field making it a little easier to identify.
This is a small cairn that's defined by a ring of earth fast stones in an area that's otherwise stone free. It has a 3m diameter with a slight earth mound of about 0.3m within the ring of stones.
This area attracts a lot of visitors due to its scenery and serenity.
