This small shallow loch is a Site of Special Scientific Interest and is located beside the village of the same name in the east of Fife, within a mile to the north of the coastal village of Elie.
The loch appears to be a comparatively recent feature, the earliest reference being to "the gret loch callit of auld the Reidmyre" in 1599 and referred to as Keanwchar Loch by 1654 in Blaeu's Atlas Novus. Samples of the loch bed support its origin as a bog and there is archaeological evidence and a local tradition that fuel was extracted. Westward outflow to the Cocklemill Burn is said to have been blocked by sand in 1624 or 1625 but it is drained to the south-east by the largely underground Loch Run into Elie harbour and eastwards to the Inverie Burn.
