With the 2022 season at Swartigill, Caithness, due to start next month, here are two videos from the excavation director Rick Barton to whet your appetite.
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.
