Stonehenge Neolithic Houses Project

The Ancient Technology Centre is proud to announce that we have been awarded the English Heritage contract to reconstruct three Neolithic Houses based on excavations of house plans at Durrington Walls!!

Prototype building began this March at Old Sarum.

The final reconstructions will be built outside the new Stonehenge Visitor Centre this October.

The Ancient Technology Centre has developed a unique program of hands on learning for children of all ages.
We believe that children should explore their surroundings, environment and history through an exciting blend of full scale building projects and traditional skills and crafts.  Our starting point is archaeology and this informs the many buildings and activities that we offer.
Our goal is to enable children to genuinely experience aspects of daily life in the past, we encourage hard work, sweat and blisters in the context of seasonal and sustainable practice, the results of this hard work is plain to see.
We are now making an effort to open our amazing site to the public and we hope to see you soon!
