This cairn is the central cairn of three main cairns of the summit of Moel Faban. At 408.7m the summit gives fantastic views of the surrounding Carneddau mountains and over to Anglesey.

The cairn can be reached via sometimes steep footpaths leading from the villages of either Rachub or Llanllechid.
