EHG4128 - Walkover survey - Ackron Sand and Rock Quarries, Melvich, Sutherland

An archaeological desk-based assessment and walk-over survey were undertaken by Highland Archaeology Services in 2012 in response to a planning condition for quarrying of sand and rock at Ackron Farm, Melvick, Sutherland. Two sites, either side of the farm were assessed and related to the reopening of a stone quarry and resumption of operations to extract gravel from an existing gravel pit. Nothing of archaeological significance was found within the areas of consent although several features of potential archaeological interest were found outside these areas. <1>
