Cairn X3 is a poor one. Only one stone on the western side remains of the kerb. A raised area indicates the extent of the cairn and gorse bushes cover its southern area.

Patrickstown Hill can be reached in two ways. You can park at the main Loughcrew parking site, climb Carnbane East where cairn T is and then wander over to Patrickstown Hill, or you can park on the east side of the hill and follow the track that starts opposite the small car park there (N 603 782). To find this car park follow the N154 south from Oldcastle towards Kells. The car park is about 7km from Oldcastle on the left. To reach Cairns X1, X2 & X3 follow this track until it opens out into a meadow. In front of you there will be a big thicket of gorse bushes. The cairns are on the opposite side of these.
