HY21 12 VERRON 2 ('Knowe of Verron')
HY/231198
Possible broch on the shore in Sandwick, on the south point of Verron Geo. There is nothing now but much quarried mound which looks as though it covers the ruins of a stone building. A midden is close to the south side and has produced potsherds and food refuse.
In 2001 a small rescue excavation was carried out at the eroding site and found metalworking debris and traces of structures [3].
