The excavation is a collaboration between the University of the Highlands and Islands Archaeology Institute and the Yarrows Heritage Trust and is providing a glimpse of everyday life in Iron Age Scotland that does not centre on the monumental architecture of brochs.

The 2022 excavation runs from August 15 until September 9, 2022.
