The overgrown remains of a roadside quarry lie 140m ESE of Torrancroy farmstead (NJ31NW 47). It measures about 15m from WNW to ESE by 10m transversely and up to 1.8m in depth on the NNE and quarry probably dates from the period between 1869 and 1903. It is not depicted on the 1st edition of the OS 6-inch map (Aberdeenshire, 1869, sheet lx), but its position is indicated on the 2nd edition of the map (1903, sheet lx) by an area of rough ground between the improved field to the N and the public road to the S.
Visited by RCAHMS (JRS, ATW), 4 March 1998.
