Field Visit (13 September 2018)
At the foot of the NW flank of North Berwick Law there is a disused and now heavily overgrown quarry that has been dug into the slope to a depth of more than 4m on the uphill side and 1m on the downhill. It measures about 140m from NE to SW by at least 16m transversely and there is a low mound of upcast along its lower edge and NE end. The quarry is accessed from the SW by a metalled trackway that is depicted on the 1st edition of the OS 6-inch map (Haddingtonshire Sheet 2, 1853) but not on later editions.
Visited by HES Survey and Recording (JRS, GFG, AM) 13 September 2018.
