 AOC will be leading a public excavation, excavating a longhouse near Loch Buidhe, Sutherland; volunteers are invited to take part in every stage of the excavation and recording process.

A team of AOC’s experienced archaeologists will be working onsite every day from Tuesday 9th until Tuesday 16th of April, including over the weekend. If you would like to participate in the excavations, please get in touch with Charlotte charlotte.douglas@aocarchaeology.com or 0131 440 3593 for more information. However, pre-registration is not necessary and you are welcome to turn up without notice! All tools and equipment will be provided.

The site is around 6 miles north of Bonar Bridge, just off the Migdale Road. Please wear sturdy boots and weather-appropriate clothing, and bring plenty to eat and drink.
