Two powder magazines, part of the infrastructure of the quarry (NT57SE 171), are located on the broad terrace on the N flank of Traprain Law, some 70 SW of the car park. The W magazine, principally built in stone, was constructed sometime between the survey for the 2nd edition of the OS 25-inch map (Haddingtonshire 1894, Sheet 11.1) in 1892 and the survey undertaken in 1906 prior to the revised map being published a year later. The E magazine, constructed mainly in concrete, is later in date. Both are fitted with secure doors and were not accessible on the date of visit.
