Stones – not bones – the pic. entitled ‘The lower revetment wall of the Iron Age ditch in Trench T’ – unless you are a digger, you don’t get to see this stunning section of walling - so - Thank You Sigurd!

I’m wondering - where is the evidence of  Bronze Age activity?  It was a good location for human goings-on of all kinds - we have evidence from the Neolithic and the Iron Age….

???? Bronze Age ????

I love the iridescent nail varnish!  If nail varnish had been around back then, I’ll bet the fashionistas of the Broch would have worn it to match their clothing and their ‘bling’ - they did love colour!
