The materials have arrived! 📦✨
A huge thank you to everyone who pitched in to help restore Shiants Cottage. Your hard work, hands-on care, and dedication are bringing this charming cottage back to life.

We found nearly 100 struck flints—likely from Ireland/England and 3–4k years old, plus roughly 50 unglazed pottery sherds, over 800 years old (the start of glazing in these parts).
The Shiants have long seen visitors!
Also, a beautiful red flint piece—perhaps an old arrowhead
Very happy to report the archeological dig is nearing completion as we continue the regeneration project!
Full report in a few weeks ❤️

A clearer story of protection, access and responsibility, with stronger guidance on landings and ground nesting birds. Thank you to everyone who has shared insight and support along the way.
