The investigations involved members of Auchindrain Trust, Dig It! 2017, Xchange Scotland, young people from Argyll High Schools, the local authority’s Adult Education and Youth Work Department, and the local skills Development Scotland unit. The work focused on investigating the function of buildings T and U and a small midden feature at the front of building A.
