Archaeology Scotland and the Ardnamurchan History and Heritage Association are about to commence another season of archaeological investigations at Camas nan Geall as part of the European Regional Development Fund and Historic Environment-supported Adopt-a-Monument programme on Ardnamurchan.

Over the course of two weeks from the 26th of August, volunteers and members of the local community will investigate some of the prehistoric remains of this beautiful bay. The team has already had two successful seasons digging in the bay, investigating 18th and 19th-century settlements, and results from the project will be presented at the Highland Archaeology Festival in the autumn.

To volunteer, please contact p.murtagh@archaeologyscotland.org.uk.

The second week is fully booked, but there are still spaces from the 26th to the 30th of August.
