SUMMARY:Ness of Brodgar dig
DESCRIPTION:Full details here https://www.nessofbrodgar.co.uk/2021-excavation-dates-set/ \n“Although the dig will be open to the public between June 30 and August 11\, 2021\, to avoid crowding we can’t run our usual guided site tours and will not be able to accept tour or coach groups. The viewing gallery will not be on site and a one-way system will be in operation. \nWith a smaller team than usual\, the archaeological work will be on a reduced scale\, with only a few of the Neolithic structures uncovered. \n\nThe site will be open to the public from 9.30am until 4.30pm on weekdays\, when archaeologists are working on site.\nThere are no open days this season and the site will be closed at weekends.\nOur excavation and finds teams are in place so we are not looking for further volunteers or excavators.”\n\nFor more details https://www.nessofbrodgar.co.uk/visiting-the-ness-of-brodgar-this-summer-what-you-need-to-know
