NC 8991 6273 and NC 9004 6237 A walkover survey was carried out in June 2012 in advance of the re-opening of two small sand and rock quarries at Ackron, Melvich. A previous walkover survey by Cathy Dagg in 2002 had identified various sites in the vicinity, including an enclosure, a hut circle and a cairn. No finds or features or archaeological significance were recorded in the quarry area. A possible vestigial hut circle and two 20th-century shooting butts were recorded in the surrounding area. An unrecorded pre-clearance rural settlement site consisting of buildings and field boundaries was noted in an adjacent field.
