This small quarry is situated immediately N of a forest track about 40m W of the boundary stone NJ31NW 52. It is not depicted on either the 1st or 2nd edition of the OS 6-inch map (Aberdeenshire, 1869 and 1903, sheet lx), but it is visible on vertical aerial photographs taken in 1946 (RAF 106G/Scot/UK/139 2104-5, flown 3 July 1946), and, therefore, dates from before the forestry was planted.
Information from RCAHMS (JRS), 9 November 1999.
