Easy access when the field is in grass: there is a gate from the road on the north side of the field, signposted for the circle. The village of Milltown of Rothiemay provides a pleasant, quiet, leafy backdrop.
Both the recumbent and the stone east of it have cupmarks.

See the RCAHMS webpage for a 1998 report of a geophysical survey which revealed possible locations for the missing stones: a 33m outer circle of seven stones around an inner circle of five stones plus the recumbent.
