SUMMARY:Digs: 2024 Dates for the Ness of Brodgar
DESCRIPTION:The dates for next year’s excavation – the final season of fieldwork at the Ness – have been set. \n2024’s nine-week excavation – the final season at the Ness of Brodgar – is open to the public on weekdays\, from 9.30am-4.30pm\, between Wednesday\, June 26 and Friday\, August 16. \nThe site will also be open on the two scheduled Sunday open days (see below). \nIt is closed to visitors from Monday\, August 19\, so work to infill the trenches can be carried out. \n\nThere is no entry to the excavation if the main gate is closed and there are no staff on site.\nPlease do not drop off passengers at the site entrance – the single-track road is busy and potentially dangerous.\nIn bad weather we may have to close the site at very short notice.\n\nFree site tours\n\nWhile the site is open to the public\, our free excavation tours take place on weekdays at 11am\, 1pm and 3pm.\nEach tour lasts approximately one hour.\nThere is no need to book the free tours. Just turn up on site ahead of the start time.\n\nOpen days\nThere will be two open days in 2024 – Sunday\, July 14\, 2024\, and Sunday\, August 4\, 2024. \nThese will feature continues tours\, demonstrations\, displays and activities on site and at the Stenness school. \nJust turn up at either location any time between 11am and 4pm on the days. \nWhile on site\n\nPlease remember that the Ness of Brodgar is a working archaeological dig in a field.\nBe prepared for bumpy\, sometimes wet and slippy ground.\nPlease keep to indicated routes and stay away from the edge of the digging areas.\n\nToilets\n\nThere are no public toilets available on site.\nThe nearest facilities are in Stenness village (outside the Maeshowe visitor centre)\, 1.2 miles (2km) from the dig.\n\nDogs\n\nDogs are welcome\, but please keep them on their leads.\n\nFor full details \, including site opening hours\, Visit the Ness website click here. \nDue to the complex nature of the archaeology\, we won’t be taking volunteers in 2024\, unless they have previous experience working at the Ness.
