2017: The Dun Deardail Hillfort Project has reached its final season, and this year looks to be as exciting as ever.
Excavations will be taking place from 14th-25th August, and we will be hoping to further unravel the mysteries of the enigmatic Iron Age Hillfort overlooking Glen Nevis. The Nevis Landscape Partnership, Forestry Commission Scotland and AOC Archaeology will be uncovering more information about this vitrified hillfort, who lived there and what was happening at Dun Deardail.
The team have been examining the ramparts, for evidence of their construction and destruction, as well as internal areas within the hillfort for indications of occupational deposits for two seasons, and 2017 marks the third and final opportunity to visit or assist in our efforts. Volunteers welcome. More details at
