The BBC reports that there are plans to excavate and reconstruct an historic but eroding burnt mound on Bressay that have been awarded more than £70,000 of funding.
Bressay History Group’s plans at Cruester follow coastal erosion threatening the site. |
Detailed plans have been made and, during June and July, archaeologists will excavate and dismantle what remains of the structures that make up the site.
The stones will be labelled and transported to a plot next to the heritage centre where the site will be reconstructed into a visitor attraction, a centre for experimental research, and offer an education programme.
