A quarry face extends in discontinuous stretches across the WSW flank of Traprain Law close to its foot. It measures at least 80m from NW to SE and may have been accessed by a length of trackway, measuring some 35m in length and 3m in breadth, that traverses the slope just below it. A drill-hole for explosives at NT 57825 74473 provides evidence that at least some the quarry is probably no earlier than 19th century in date.
