Under the terms of its PIC Call-Off contract with Historic Scotland, Kirkdale Archaeology was asked to excavate two small trenches near the entrance to Iona Abbey, in the SW corner of the site grounds. These trenches were intended to locate and re-excavate the site of three older trenches. This work was undertaken to attempt to assess the suitability of this area for the construction of a new ticket office from an archaeological and an engineering point of view.
