Ironstone Mine is an ancient mine and surface working located 800 metres north-north-east of the Well of the Lecht in Banffshire, Scotland. The site comprises both underground extraction workings and associated surface features characteristic of iron ore exploitation, though the precise dating and extent of working remain subjects of local archaeological record. The Well of the Lecht itself, situated in the surrounding landscape, represents an important historical landmark in the area. The designation as an ancient mine reflects its significance within the broader pattern of mineral resource exploitation in the Scottish Highlands, though detailed chronological attribution would depend upon archaeological investigation and local historical documentation held by Historic Environment Scotland.
