The Inglesham roundhouse is one of three roundhouses with an inverted funnel-shaped roof which acted as a rain water catchment area which was then piped off and stored nearby. |
These roundhouses were generally fashioned from double-walled, woven wicker or from posts and wattle. |
Within one of the roundhouses, but almost certainly unknown to its Iron Age inhabitants, was the burial of a late Neolithic or early Bronze Age child. |
Particularly impressive examples occur in North Wales and Cornwall, while the brochs and duns of Scotland are monumental examples of roundhouses. |
Or maybe its a little pugilistic prestidigitation to avoid showing an aging action queen huffing and puffing in between roundhouses. |
The Island's Norse settlement was predated by the Celts, evidence for which comes in the form of archaeological remains of roundhouses and hill forts. |
