There are lots of other large stones around this site.
The monument lies in an inverted triangle of ground, with roads on all three sides. The garage at Zoar lies in the top left corner. The easiest way to reach the quoit is to park at the base of the triangle (close to numerous hut circles) and walk back up, taking the right (east) fork. Two thirds of the way up a well-trodden track leads off the road straight to the quoit, which can easily be seen in a cleared area ahead of you.
From hamish. "This is a b*&$%£ to find and the legs will never be the same again. Whoever introduced me to megalith hunting beware. The people at the garage looked on me as someone in need of care, and when I was stumbling through the gorse and heather I could see them pointing and laughing. So drive past the garage and take the first right park as soon as possible. Walk slowly down the right hand side of the road 'till you see a vague path ,this leads straight to the chamber. I did it differently and nearly broke my leg a few times. However,endevour in your quest and you will be rewarded by this great place."
