Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
The story of Kebister has opened a remarkable window on four thousand years of Shetland's past. From its shadowy beginnings before the Bronze Age, the farm at Kebister flourished into a cluster of houses in the Iron Age which remained in use for hundreds of years. In Viking and medieval times, a small chapel and at least two graves existed on this very old site, and the hillside continued to be farmed intensively. In the 16th century an obscure archdeacon built a magnificent teind (tithe) barn at Kebister, complete with an unusual armorial panel. The post-medieval township was not finally abandoned until about 1820. | ||
