Aerial photography has revealed the cropmarks of a souterrain, and a possible unenclosed settlement, 100m N of Dalachy Quarry. The L-shaped souterrain (NT c.2090 8655) is approximately 10m long, and 3m wide. A circular mark, about 6m in diameter, and an arc of ditch in the adjacent field lie 55m to the SSE, and along with further indeterminate cropmarks and pits 40m to the E of the souterrain, may represent traces of an unenclosed settlement. The cropmark of a possible souterrain has been recorded 240m to the W (NT28NW 281).
