The Tarbat Discovery Programme is an archaeological research project designed to study the 6th-9th century monastery at Portmahomack, Easter Ross and to explore its context on the Tarbat peninsula and within the kingdom of the northern Picts. It is a project of the Department of Archaeology, University of York, UK. The fieldwork is being carried out by Field Archaeology Specialists Ltd who act as the University's principal contractor.
