Full Description

A small, disused quarry or borrow pit, which is currently being used as a dump. It is situated within tall shrub and grass vegetation, surrounded by a post and wire fence. Situated nearby to a drystone dyke running along the southern edge of the survey area and to a ruinous drystone building, it was probably utilised for post-Medieval drystone dyke construction or other agricultural or domestic buildings for the local farms at Auchterflow. <1>
