𝗕𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗡𝗲𝘄𝘀 ❗️𝗩𝗶𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴-𝗔𝗴𝗲 archaeology from the early medieval Kingdom of Strathclyde has been rediscovered as we reopen Prof. Stephen Driscoll's Time Team trench from 1996. This is part of the 10th-century monumental roadway from church to Doomster Hill!

It's not every day you see a roadway last stood on in the Viking Age, but that's precisely what we were privileged enough to do today in the early medieval churchyard at Govan Old, once the religious home of the lost early-medieval Kingdom of Strathclyde and now of The Govan Stones 🛡👑.

Tell your friends about the FREE Galloway Hoard talk this Thursday 14th at 4:30pm with Dr. Martin Goldberg of National Museums Scotland. The religious centre of Viking-Age Strathclyde is an ideal venue to think about the hoard, deposited c.900, so is contemporary with our C10th roadway!

AMAZING find at Govan Old dig: We've just uncovered a probable early medieval carved stone of a figure, perhaps with a shield on a strap, a weapon over their shoulder, a robe, and a pony tail and possibly a beard. More as we get it. Open until 4:45pm today and Sunday from 10am.
