The monument is located on low lying ground at the North end of Glen Cochill, where it straddles the Cochill Burn and adjacent unnamed water courses, at approximately 340m above sea level. This section is part of a longer branch of contemporary road construction, connecting Crieff with Dalnacardoch. This section of road is approximately 85m long by 4m wide and survives as four short sections of buried roadway connected by three small, ruined bridges in a mature woodland plantation. The scheduled area is rectangular on plan, measuring 85m by 17m. It includes the remains described above and an area around within which evidence relating to the monument s construction, use and abandonment is expected to survive, as shown in red on the accompanying map. Specifically excluded from the scheduling are the above-ground remains of all moorland and woodland boundaries including fences and dykes.
