There are two very large 'gate posts' near Beckbury Camp - the other is on Campden Lane (Ancient Track) - both are quite substantial - neither is difficult to get to - this (Farmcote) does not lie on an Ancient Track but between two - The Saltway (500m to the West) and Campden Lane (500m to the East) - the tracks meet about 500m to the S of this stone -
