Visited the site in heavy snow, it was quite difficult to find. The site was excavated in the early 70's it has been left to nature but the outline is clear to see. There is a forestry commission road which takes you directly to the site, I think it bisects the cairn/henge, so access is very good. The site is little known in the village of Fochabers and therefore seldom visited. Full dig details are available online. The link below gives an overview.
