Research interests

Dr Rachel Barrowman previously worked at Glasgow University for over 30 years, latterly as Research Associate in Archaeology, where she received her PhD in Archaeology (Published Works) in 2022. Her past published work includes excavations at Tintagel in Cornwall, and St Ninian’s Isle in Shetland, but in more recent years her research has focussed on the archaeology of medieval Lewis. Specifically she has led excavations on the small tidal sea stack of Dùn Èistean, and research and survey of the chapel-sites of Lewis. 

She currently provides editorial advice and research support for archaeologists, to assist them in bringing their work to publication.
