Location. Set back from east side of Beech Hill Road. UTM: 19T 0551941, 4908769; Lat./Long.: N 44°19′49.2″ x W 68°20′54.7″

Directions. From the intersection of Routes 3 and 102/198 at the north end of Mount Desert Island, go straight ahead (south) onto Routes 102/198. In approximately 5.2 miles (and at the south end of the village of Somesville), turn right onto Pretty Marsh Road (Route 102). In about 0.2–0.3 miles, turn left onto Beech Hill Road. (Note: this turn is easy to pass as it is just over a hill and is in a curve.) In approximately 1.9–2.0 miles, the stones are on the left under several tall trees.
