Once you are at "the ford", follow the road for another 100 meters and turn left up. When I was there, the gate was closed, but there is a step over gate. "Stile" is installed.
If you turn left before "the ford" you have path through the wall, up a bit and then you meet the entrance where you need a torch as the tunnel is long but it doesn't get you to the chamber with the pillar.
Worth exploring around area and keep in mind that certain bits could be dangerous.
