Jump to contentAllNewsSportCultureLifestyleThe Gordonstoun pupils made the discovery on an archaeological field trip to Swona, a tiny Orkney island where only feral cattle live (Gordonstoun)Students and staff from Gordonstoun private school have discovered what is thought to be the remains of a medieval Viking church on the uninhabited Scottish island of Swona. The pupils made the discovery during a six-day archaeological expedition alongside experts from the Orkney Research Centre for Archaeology. The dry-stone structure features a step leading to an altar and shares key characteristics with Viking churches from the 10th and 11th centuries. Ten pupils stayed in an abandoned 100-year-old cottage without electricity or running water while participating in the dig and restoration work. Samples collected by the students will now undergo radiocarbon dating to confirm the exact age of the ancient structure.
