The site of this gravel pit is marked by a shallow depression about 15m in diameter in the surface of a cultivated field 80m SE of Kylieford farmsteading (NJ52NE 94). The pit, which has been dug into a gentle SSW-facing slope, is depicted on the 1st edition of the OS 6-inch map (Aberdeenshire, 1870, sheet xliii), but it appears to have gone out of use before the end of the 19th century and is not shown on the 2nd edition of the map (1901, sheet xliii.NE).
Visited by RCAHMS (JRS, IF), 24 February 1996.
