Situated on a local rise to the S end of Cefn Cilsanws this cairn measures 14m (N-S) by 13m and about 1.5m high, though some of this height may be accounted for by upcast from a trench which runs N-S through the mound.
The cairn is composed mainly of sandstone with some limestone, consolidated around the edges.
The cairn lies to the S of a more extensive group of small cairns, mostly resulting from field clearance. This is perhaps the cairn which in 1908 produced a riveted dagger and some human bones.
