The National Monuments Service's description
Listed in the SMR (1989) and classified as Pit(s). On the NE-facing slope of Kesh Corann. Numerous quarry pits (dims.10-20m; D 0.5-1m) of varying size, shape and depth are dug into the lower slopes of Keshcorran. These were identified from aerial photographs (GSIAP, G 220-19) but upon inspection in 2001 appear to be of relatively recent date.
