Title
Newbarns Project
Description
The archaeologists at Newbarns have been working since 2002 on a multi-period site, starting with Neolithic burials and ending with Medieval features. Find out what happened in prehistoric times when a person died. Where did they go? A chance to explore a fascinating place inhabited through the Iron Age and on into Medieval times.
As a Scottish Archaeology Month and DOD highlight, Alastair Penman of the Stewartry Archaeological Trust will offer tours of the site at 11am and 2.30pm on both Saturday and Sunday.
Take this opportunity to try your hand as an archaeologist (tools will be available), view the artefacts the digs have uncovered and hear about the Trust’s investigations and theories. Please wear stout footwear and midge cream!
