From looking at old OS maps it seems that this is just an odd natural feature. It looks like there was once a tip just to the East, where the poultry farm now is. The poultry farm is relatively new, not being present on 1950s maps. Strangely the section of the main road that runs through Stoneyburn and Bents, from its junction with the A-road West of here and the edge of the village, is called Cannop Crescent, despite the place-name Cannop appearing on no maps from the 1950s back.
