Taking the minor road west out of Trecastle (heading towards Y Pigwrn stone circles) you first pass a turning on the left which leads to Penrhiw Farm. Keep on the road towards the stone circles and you shortly come to two metal field gates on your left hand side. Stop at the first gate and climb over the metal fence opposite - no barbed wire for a change! Walk up the small embankment and you will see the cairn, only a short walk away. The Cairn is approximately 10 metres in diameter and 0.5 metres high.
Note – the Cairn is not visible from the road.
