We’re delighted to support the Stronsay Fieldwalking Survey, and
volunteers are warmly invited to take part!
Continuing the successful work of Naomi Woodward in 2007, Ben Elliott
from UHI’s Archaeology Institute will be leading three days of
archaeological survey on Stronsay – 10th, 11th and 12th April.
The survey will involve fieldwalking – the careful searching of ploughed
fields for archaeological artefacts, which are then systematically
recorded. The aim is to help document the wider distribution of
archaeological remains across the Stronsay landscape and identify
evidence of human activity from different periods of the island’s past.
There are several ways to get involved:
• Join the team walking the fields to help locate artefacts
• Help with sorting and recording finds at the Stronsay Development
Trust Community Greenhouse
This is a fantastic opportunity to contribute to uncovering more of
Stronsay’s rich history, and no prior experience is required.
If you’d like to volunteer or find out more, please contact Ben Elliott at:
