It is easily accessed by a footpath from the unclassified road between the B 3042 and the hamlet of Cheldon. It is signposted from this road (a walk up a trackway of 150 metres or so). This track continues on the other side of the road and appears to have been an important local artery in past times (marked as a lane on the Old Map). All in all a quietly impressive site well secluded from modern life.
