Underworld Conference in Inverness, 27th April

20 March 2013

An exciting, day-long seminar will take place at Council Chambers, Inverness on Saturday, 27th April on 'Underworld: the use of caves, rock shelters and underground places during the Scottish Iron Age. The day will focus on recent work undertaken at two Highland sites: High Pasture Cave and Fiscavaig Rock Shelter, both on the Isle of Skye.

High Pasture Cave is one of the most important Iron Age ritual sites excavated in Britain.

The results of the most recent research into the two sites will be presented at the seminar. Guest speakers include Professor Ian Armit and Dr Fraser Hunter.
