The site is sign posted from the A 841 road and a farm track leads all the way to it. A small car park is provided for visitors. There is a stile about half a mile along the Moss Farm Road track and the circle lies just the other side. It is next to the farm track and an information board gives details on the site.

There is an arrangement of stones around a central cairn. Details of the site are given on an information board by Historic Scotland. The tallest stones are at the south, another lies to the east. Not a very impressive or interesting circle. It lies on the same track that leads to the much more impressive Macrie Moor group that lie another half mile along the road.
