In 1973 the last of the temporary buildings put up to house the Iona Community during rebuilding, the carpenter’s shed, was dismantled and cleared from its site north-west of the refectory. As the site was to be levelled a short excavation was undertaken in 1974. Very little structured evidence was found in the trench. In contrast there were three very datable finds: imported pottery, moulds and a bell.
