This week saw the start of the building of our new roundhouse at Caer Alyn. Supported and funded by Northern Marches Cymru, the roundhouse will complete the reconstruction of an Iron Age settlement on site. It is hoped that the roundhouse will be completed by the end of March, (weather dependent!!!!) Visitors are welcome to visit the site on Saturdays, between 10,00am and 2,00pm, to have a look at the work being done.

Harvesting the Past had been funded through Heritage Lottery Fund’s Young Roots programme, whose aim was to encourage young people to learn about different aspects of their local heritage which are important to them and creatively interpret them for the wider community.
