Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
The Brough of Birsay is a small tidal island approximately 21 hectares in area lying to the NW of Mainland Orkney. Excavations commenced in the summer of 1974 and, with the exception of the 1978 season, continued annually until 1982. The work has provided an important stimulus to 7th-12th century Orkney studies, especially for the pre-Norse and Norse buildings. The Brough is not yet proved as monastic, though was a site of local political or ecclesiastical importance. | ||
