I parked at the crossroads S of the site then made the short stiff climb up from the main road. On reflection, it might have been better to park in Breascleit village and take the more level walk over the field.

Either way, you are rewarded with excellent views up and down the sea loch and over to Bernera.

Not much to see at the site. The N side and backstone of an E-oriented chamber remain.
