This building, which is associated with quarries NM71NW 114-118, is depicted as roofed on the 2nd edition of the Ordnance Survey 25-inch map (Argyllshire, revised 1898, published 1899, sheet CXXI.7). Tramway rails are shown entring the building indicating that by before 1898 it was used, perhaps, as a locomotive shed. It is also depicted on the 1st edition Ordnance Survey map (Argyllshire and Buteshire, revised 1871, published 1872, sheet CXXI.11) but no tramway rails are depicted. The building is two storey and the upper floor may have been a hayloft. It is a possibility that it was used as stabling for tramway horses prior to the introduction of steam engines.
Withall (MS/8087/1) notes that the J. Adams, 1974 map (annotated version, based on the 2nd edition 25-inch Ordnance Survey map, Argyllshire, 1898, sheet CXXI.7, see MS/8087/4) annotates this building as 'being adjacent to the Ceidh an Stabuill (the Stable Quarry).
