Full Description
NMRS Report: (09/11/2005)
ND24SE 96 28286 41428
This quarry, which is situated deep within Camster Forest, was probably opened in the late 1970s/early 1980s to provide gravel and stone for roads within the woodland. The quarry is not shown on either the 1st or 2nd edition of the OS 6-inch map (Caithness 1877, sheet xxix; 1907, sheet xxix) and it is not visible on an RAF vertical aerial photograph taken in May 1946 (106G/SCOT/UK.76 print 4290). Roughly subrectangular on plan, the quarry measures about 65m from NE to SW by 35m transversely and it has been dug into the slope on the NW to a depth of 2.5m.
