Field Visit (9 September 2015)
This ruinous, slate built, single storey quarry building is the least well preserved on the west side of the island of Easdale. A large quantity of waste overlies it and there is a partly buried vertical boiler lying on its side. Based on map evidence, this building dates from between 1871 and 1898.
