Access This stone stands close to the Men-an-Tol, which is signposted from the lane leading north from Madron. Walk up the track from the lane, past the stile to the Men an Tol on your right, and a little further on the stone is obvious in a field to your left.
Note: Senseless attack on Men Scryfa as the top is charred and what looks like an attempt to topple it made
