What to expect at the site

The main routes around the monument are gravel or grass. The grass is well maintained, but is naturally firmer during dry weather. There are numerous archaeological remains within the grass, which can be difficult to see.

Some rooms have a step at the threshold, but these aren’t on the main routes around the site. The gatehouse is up a stone spiral staircase with no handrail. Steps are uneven and light levels can be very low. The visitor centre is step free.

Toilets

There is no adapted toilet at this site. The nearest is in Maybole.
