That’s all folks! See you next year, funding permitting

The 2022 season at the Ness of Brodgar is now officially over.

Today was spent covering all the archaeology and we’re delighted to announce we managed it all in one (long and hard) day.

But although excavation is now complete, work will continue so keep checking the website for regular news and updates.

We hope to be back on site in 2023, but, as always, that will depend on our fundraising. If you can help by donating to the Ness, it will be much appreciated. As we always say every penny helps.

Site director Nick would like to thank all of this year’s Ness team for their hard work – and that means everyone, diggers, students, meet-and-greeters and the finds crew. We would also like to thank everyone who visited the site, donated, bought from the shop, sponsored-a-square and generally helped make the 2022 season on the Ness of Brodgar another one to remember.

Fingers crossed we can do it all again next year – the 20th anniversary of the discovery of Structure One.
