Aerial Photographic Interpretation (9 December 2021)

HES Rhins and New Luce Project

Quarry pits flanking the Roman Road between Drumflower and Dunragit have been recorded as cropmarking on oblique aerial photographs (RCAHMSAP 1992). Situated on either side of the Old Military Road to the SE of Drumflower Cottage, the row of pits on the S side extends WNW and ESE for a distance of at least 295m. A fewer number of corresponding pits are visible on the N side of the road.

Further stretches of quarry pits have been recorded to the SE (NX15NE 70.01) and to the NW (NX15NW 75.02).
