Arthur's Stone is located between the villages of Dorstone and Bredwardine, and more generally between Hereford to the east and Hay-on-Wye to the west, at Ordnance Survey grid reference SO318430.

The tomb commands an elevated view to the south of the Golden Valley and the Brecon Beacons in the distance,[2] and is bounded to the north by a small road (Arthur's Stone Lane) which dissects what would originally have been the site of the tomb's elongated mound.

The stones would originally have been buried within a mound, aligned north-south and of approximately 25 metres in length with an east-facing entrance and a south-facing false portal.

[1] The tomb is one of many prehistoric monuments in western England and Wales to be linked with the legend of King Arthur.

[7] Others suggest the indentations on the Quoit Stone were left by Arthur's knees or elbows as he knelt there to pray.
