The University of Reading and Islay Heritage are pleased to announce a new field project on Islay. This will involve three seasons of fieldwork at the site of Olistadh, located on the Rhinns peninsula. The project will use Olistadh as a case study to explore rural settlement on Islay from the 8th to the 19th century AD.

The first season of fieldwork will be between 13 June and 9 July 2022.
