In May 2007 Channel 4's Time Team came to investigate some prehistoric remains that had first been partly exposed when storms in October 2005 had blown away some sand dunes. The site had been previously investigated in 2006 by a rescue survey funded by Historic Scotland.
Among the remains found were Bronze-Age cist burials and plough-marks, and a hamlet of Iron-Age roundhouses and a wheelhouse on a par with those at Skara Brae on the Orkney Isles.[1] The programme featuring Allasdale was broadcast on 20 January 2008.
