Season 1 of excavations within the scheduled area of Burghead, undertaken to date the enclosing elements and characterize the survival and use of the lower citadel. These excavations confirmed the fort was built and used in the early medieval period and was quite densely occupied by buildings of various sizes and shapes. This forms part of a wider project investigating the development of early medieval kingdoms in Northern Britain and Ireland (The Comparative Kingship project).
