At Llynnon, funding was available to put disused woodland and coppice back into use. The idea came about to construct a Bronze Age / Early Iron Age area with two roundhouses which were eventually completed in 2007. As all the materials where sourced from this woodland it proved very successful.

In 1966 just outside the boundary of a hill fort known as Kemerton Camp on top of Bredon Hill (Hencken 1939) in Worcestershire a small roundhouse was reconstructed, based upon the excavations carried out at Glastonbury Lake Village some fifty years before (Reynolds 1967a, Bullied and Grey 1911). A group of students under the guidance of Mr. Philip Barker of Birmingham University, carrying out a routine site visit, were deeply impressed to come across the three dimensional reality of something which had been previously discussed in vacuo.
