A cairn is located on a SW-facing slope in bracken infested,scree-strewn enclosed land, to the S of Bodwigiad.
The cairn constitutes a local concentration of small and medium grade stones and measures 8m in diameter. Its height is greatest at 0.5m on the downhill W side from which the cairn appears to project slightly. Elsewhere the mound is as low as 0.2m, on the uphill side. It is overgrown with bracken, moss and some grass. The centre is slightly dished. The immediate vicinity of the cairn is relatively stone-free.
