Access: Come off M4 at junction 28, at exit roundabout take the A48 straight ahead. At the next roundabout take the right to Cleppa estate, at the roundabout in the estate go straight ahead and you will see on the left a lane. Find somewhere here to park and follow the lane on foot. Just after you cross the motorway there is a gap in the fence on the left, cross the field and go past the trees and you will see the stones at the top of the hill.
