Crowdfunding: A Final Push to Find Moluag’s Monastery

by | 6 Mar 2022 | Digs

Comann Eachdraidh Lios Mòr  is  CrowdFunding  to raise funds for a final archaeological dig in the Clachan glebe.

We aim to carry out an intensive week of archaeology to find out what the unexpected built structures under the peat really are:  prehistoric? (we did find evidence of flint working);  Early Church (Moluag’s original monastic buildings?); or associated with the medieval cathedral?  The big difference this time will be that, whatever the weather, we will have a pump on site to deal with any flooding.

This will be the culmination of six years of work.  We will soon have a great wealth of information about the Clachan area from prehistory to the present, allowing us to explain and interpret its story.
