A field wall was built through the dolmen , of which three stones, a side stone, an end stone and the large slipped cap stone have been preserved. The capstone measures 2.7 × 2.1 m. The chamber was built in the 4th or 3rd millennium BC. Built in BC. The remaining cairn is estimated to be about 21.0 × 12.0 m and lies on an east-west axis. On the western side of the field wall are traces of the cairns that originally covered the chamber. On the east side is a curved stone wall that could have been part of the forecourt.
About 500 m southwest of about 5.0, 2.25 m wide and 45 cm thick "Bron Y Foel Recumbent Stone," the lying stone-meter ( English Recumbent Stone ), which is slightly lifted by smaller stones from the ground. It too lies on an east-west axis. It is considered the remnant of a chamber, but in the listing of prehistoric chamber tombs of England and Wales this is mentioned as doubtful.
