RCAHMS details here
Access from Insch: head north and turn onto the Whitehall road on the left past the entrance to Drumrossie House. Go along this for over a kilometre until Whitehall farm appears on the right. The road carries on behind the farm, turning behind it to the right and onto a newer track heading south. Cut across the edge of the field to the east and head for the clump of trees past the road at the other end.
