Lunchtime Talk: Reconstructing Iron Age Roundhouses

About

Join this informative and personal account of the experiences of building Roundhouses.

Dafydd William will cover the practical requirements and methods of reconstructing Iron-Age Roundhouses, such as timber-work, roofing, and daubing.

He will also discuss the archaeological evidence for the original buildings, and the construction of his own contemporary Roundhouse. This lecture will help and inspire people to build their own!

Dafydd Wiliam graduated from Reading University's Archaeology Department with a passion for Roundhouses.

Since then he has built two of his own, and works closely with St Fagans: National History Museum, designing and building their Iron-Age structures.
