From the centre of the circle head SW towards the forest edge. Around 10 yards shy of the corner it's possible to skip the burn and continue SW towards the forest edge over boggy rough ground. There is a convenient gate allowing access to the moor. Walk 50 yards parallel to the forest and the cist will be seen on the horizon.
Glenquicken Cist is listed as Canmore ID 63687.
