This large, disused granite quarry, which is situated at the foot of the S flank of Tillyfourie Hill, is depicted on the 1st edition of the OS 6-inch map (Aberdeenshire, 1869, sheet lxiii). The 2nd edition of the map (1901, sheet lxiii.SE) shows three large pits, but by then the quarry had already been abandoned in favour of new workings higher up on the S face of the hill (NJ61SW 112).
