Archaeology Notes

ND34SW 413 ND 30426 41062

This grass-grown quarry is situated immediately E of a disused farm track 80m SE of the late 19th-century house at Warehouse famsteading (ND34SW 100.1). Probably opened to supply material to construct the track, the quarry is dug into a steep W-facing slope and measures about 11m from N to S by 5.7m transversely and up to 3m in depth. The quarry is not depicted on either the 1st or 2nd edition of the OS 6-inch map (Caithness 1877, sheet xxix; 1907, sheet xxix).
