The peat deposits at Portmoak originally developed in a wet hollow left after the last ice-age. As peat deposition increased, this eventually became a raised dome. Cache is located at the edge of the cut.
In the middle ages, the area was part of a much larger uncultivated bog providing peat, turf and pasture to local communities. Peat may also have fuelled local lime kilns and a distillery. Use of the Moss for peat cutting by residents of Scotlandwell and Kinnesswood is well documented from the 17th to the 20th century, when the practice finally died out.
