A round cairn, about 12m in diameter & 0.8m high, showing kerb elements on the west, with possible traces of a further concentric circle; a central cist, 2.0m north-west to south-east by 1.0m, has been opened & its capstone displaced.
2. This is one of the best suriving cairn and cist in the Blaen-Glassffrwd area. It was partially surveyed by the RCAHMW in 2005 as part of a wider landscape survey of the area. The shape and size and the position of a number of kerb stones suggest that the cairn may have been enalrged at an unknown date.
