Trench P, Ness of Brodgar 2019

3D Model

Trench P at the Ness of Brodgar, towards the end of the summer 2019 excavation, showing many of the main buildings discovered.

The Ness of Brodgar is an archaeological excavation covering an area of 2.5 hectares in the Heart of the Neolithic Orkney World Heritage Site, in Scotland. It has revealed a well-preserved and sophisticated complex of 5000-year-old stone buildings, unlike anything seen before in northern Europe.

Excavation on this scale is expensive: each season costs over £200,000, both the digging itself and the ensuing analysis by specialists. Please help support the project by donating to the Ness of Brodgar Trust!
