I did the same as Kammer and walked across the bridge after visiting the nearby stone circle.

Access is very easy; up and over a locked gate, across the grass and you are there.

The stone is about 1 metre tall
I don’t think there’s much else to add?

Visited 2nd August 2004: We parked by the Bernera Bridge information board and walked back across the bridge to Iarsiadar. There’s a gate by the road giving access into the field where the stone now stands. The climb up to the stone isn’t too steep, but there’s no path as such.

When you’re up by the stone you just have to imagine that you’re a few metres further west than you actually are.
