Visiting the Iron Age Roundhouses of Castell Henllys

Nestled in the hills near Nevern in north Pembrokeshire, Wales, lies Castell Henllys - an archaeological site and Iron Age hillfort. Since the start of the 21st century, the site has been the subject of an ongoing excavation accompanied by reconstruction archaeology, where experiments in prehistoric farming have been practiced.

Four roundhouses and a granary have been reconstructed on their original foundations - some 2,000 years old. This makes Castell Henllys the only site in Britain where this has been done. The site includes significant earthworks and fortifications that provide a look into the prehistoric past.

During the summer, the site provides training for young archaeologists and is a popular visitor attraction. The site is owned by the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park.
