The access track from the road leads over the stream to the quarry which was worked until about 1830, and probably a stone source for boundary walls.
Continue along the road and turn left at a fingerpost on a path due south; after about 150 meters is a small gate in the wall to the right; with the gate behind you and facing Stanage Edge head SE across Sheepwash Bank for 100m, to meet a narrow footpath passing diagonally from left to right.
This is part of a braided hollow-way crossing from the moorland above Stanage Edge, which runs south-west over Sheepwash Bank to Outseats, south of the plantation; and joins the main route from Sheffield to Hope Valley, once a trans-Pennine route and salt-way.
Continue across the rough grassland SE for 100m to find earthen ridges and then a ring cairn. There is a smaller cairn 12m. NE of here, and the raised mound of a barrow / ring cairn about 130m away, to the SE.
