Remains of a stone built burial cairn, located in open moorland on the leading south facing end of the Pen Gloch-y-pibwr ridge. Roughly circular,the cairn was possibly originally a platform cairn.Two other possible platform cairns on the ridge Pen Cerrig-calch (NPRN: 306292; BR304) and Pen Allt-Mawr (NPRN: 306289; BR305) support this theory.
