High pasture Cave

Ritual, Memory and Identity in the Iron age of Skye
Tuesday 15th October, 7:30pm, Victoria Hall, Cromarty.

Archaeologist Steve Birch was a Site Director of the Community Dig Team who uncovered the archaeology of the former Royal Burgh of Medieval Cromarty during 2013-16. He has been involved in digs all over the Highlands, including the investigation of the High Pasture Cave in Skye. This is a site on the edge of a settlement which shows signs of activity from Neolithic times, the Bronze Age and Early to Middle Scottish Iron Age.

Steve will be sharing some of his team’s discoveries with us in advance of his book about the dig, to be published next February by Oxbow Books.

The meeting will be followed by refreshments. As always the meeting is free to members, visitors £5, and the annual membership fee for meetings from October to April is only £15.
