A comprehensive survey and excavation programme aimed at recording, revealing, consolidating and interpreting a range of sites on the Isle of May was commissioned by Fife Regional Council and Scottish Natural Heritage and executed in April 1992 by John Hunter, Bradford University. This recorded over 100 sites ranging in date from the medieval period to the 2nd World War. Of particular interest were a range of outlying pottery scatters, especially on the tidal North Ness; these are likely to represent hermit's cells.
