This limestone quarry lies to the ENE of Birniehall and is depicted on the current 1:10,000 map as two ponds. The quarry comprises an oval hollow about 180m in length (E-W) by up to 30m across with spoil dumped to the S. At least seventeen U-shaped clamp kilns have been excavated into the spoil, mostly along the S face of the dump. The quarry is not shown on the 1st edition of the OS 6-inch map (Lanarkshire 1853, sheet xix), but is depicted on the 1911 revision of the 2nd edition map as two ponds.
