Sites include a Mesolithic flint working site on a platform on the SW side of Carrick Crane rocks at SW79751962 and SW79761964, which was excavated in 1933 when 600-650 worked flints were found. A probably intrusive fragment of an Iron Age bowl with double bead rim was found at SW79741962, Another trench produced only one core of flint, one flint flake and a few beach pebbles. Other flint flakes were found at SW80291976, Bronze Age hut circles at SW79931958, SW803196 and SW79691965, and a possible round barrow known as The Barn at SW80251952, as well as a 2nd century AD Romano-British field system and salt works at SW79591930. Pottery of the Bronze Age (Trevisker Ware) and Romano-British periods have also been found here.
