Open from 11th of July is a new exhibition at the Maeshowe Visitor Centre revealing the finds and the story from the Ness of Brodgar excavation nearby in the Heart of Neolithic Orkney
The excavation is open to the public on weekdays, from 9.30am-4.30pm till August 17 2022. And there is free parking on the site too.
Our annual clear-up is scheduled for tomorrow – Sunday, June 26, and generally involves giving everything a good tidy up before the diggers return on July 4.

“I was hoping that someone from Orkney would go to see the British Museum exhibition which includes items from the Ness of Brodgar dig, and that that person would write about it – and it’s happened! “
