This delicately balanced portal dolmen prehistoric monument stands in the corner of a quiet field close to a track that leads uphill from Penlan and less than a mile southeast from the waters of Cardigan Bay.

Three uprights support a heavy triangular capstone that measures nearly 3 metres in length, about 2.5 metres at its widest point and nearly a metre thick while just to one side of the chamber is a fallen stone that was reported as standing as late as the 17th century. If there was ever a covering mound over this tomb any trace of it has now gone although there are several small rocks beneath the capstone which could be contemporary with the monument or simply the result of field clearance.
