The remains at Auchingoul consist of a maze of irregularities that suggest modern digging on an ancient site, although the Roman nature of the site, suggested non-commitally by Shand, is very doubtful.

The remains are the result of quarrying. Parts of the site have been excavated to below ground level, and in one place there is a standing pool of water, possibly tapping the waters of a stream.
