Ardestie earthhouse was discovered in the 1940s to the north of Mains of Ardestie farm.[1] It was excavated in 1949–1950 by F.T. Wainwright, who first suggested that the function of the souterrain was as an underground cow byre, although grain storage and ritual use have also been suggested.[2] Incorporated into the structure are recycled stones with neolithic/Bronze Age cup and ring marks
