There is little evidence to confirm that the scooped hollows at this location are the remains of a scooped settlement. The majority of the features appear to be no more than shallow quarry scoops and their attendant mounds of upcast. The quarries are undated, but are probably later in date than both the cultivation terraces (NT27SE 76) and the rig-and-furrow cultivation (NT27SE 3968). They are plotted at 1:5,550 on an archaeological map of Holyrood Park (RCAHMS 1999).
