Can't get much more traditional!

Fancy a new house? Traditional farmhouse in the incredible Dorset countryside. No mod-cons!

This is work-in-progress from Saturday...



Cranborne Ancient Technology Centre, where I'm helping to build this as a volunteer, BTW.

Come and visit us on our Stoneage Weekend - 14 & 15 April.

I volonteered to work on a roundhouse build in Pembs - at Castell Henllys, where the roundhouses are built on the exact place excavated ironage roundhouses were built, using the same postholes etc... - funding was not forthcoming and the project was dropped, so I missed out
There are about 6 buildings already built (rebuilt?) and great excavations, Iron age crops and farm animals, weaving and other crafts on display and it is a great visit for a day if you are ever in West Wales.
I love this kind of "experimental archeology" it realy teaches a lot about our past.
