Two quarry-pits are situated low on the SE flank of Whinny Hill above the rig-and-furrow cultivation described under NT27SE 3942. The larger is situated some 120m to the NNE of the N end of Dunsapie Loch, and measures 19.5m from ENE to WSW by 18m transversely and up to 2m in depth; it has a rim of upcast and is plotted at 1:5,550 on an archaeological map of Holyrood Park (RCAHMS 1999). The smaller pit lies about 110m to the NNE, and measures 6m by 2.5m; it is probably no more than an old spring.
Visited by RCAHMS (ARG), 15 December 1998.
