Now that we’re back in British Summer Time (although a glance out the window would cast doubt on that) a reminder of the planned excavation work for the summer of 2026:
- The Cairns, South Ronaldsay, Orkney: Monday, June 8 – Friday, July 17, 2026.
- Skaill farm, Rousay, Orkney: Monday, July 6 – Friday, July 24, 2026.
- Spurness, Sanday, Orkney: Sunday, July 19 – Friday, August 14, 2026
As usual, visitors are welcome to all excavations during working hours, with tours available.
Out in Orkney’s West Mainland, a Time Team-funded exploratory excavation is taking place at the Ness of Brodgar in July. This will be open to visitors, on weekdays, between Tuesday, July 7, and Thursday, July 30, 2026.
This dig will see a small trench opened to investigate a series of anomalies noted in the 2025 ground-penetrating radar (GPR) results.
