22 February 2013

As an additional part of Historic Assynt´s current Fire and Water Project, Historic Assynt conduct a small excavation at the moated site close to Inchnadamph Church which several NOSAS members helped survey in 2005. As recommended in the report from that survey, the aim will be to put a trench across the moat and platform and see if we can find dating evidence and finds indicative of use. In order to get the work done within the project time-frame we´re going for
18 - 22 February which should ensure a thoroughly waterlogged site, freezing temperatures, howling gales, snow etc etc. Anyone interested in helping with the excavation under these ideal conditions do please get in touch!
