Only the slightest remains of the village of Parley now survive. It is depicted on the 1915 revision of the 2nd edition of the OS 25-inch map (Fifeshire, 1915, sheet xxxiv 6), to the N of Pit No.9. The footing's of one of the rows of cottages are still visible (NT 1232 9253) and measure about 50m by 6m overall. A shallow scoop adjacent to the track (NT 1241 9252) masks the site of another building.
