is a fully dug-out and rebuilt ancient fort, where the reconstruction has taken place at the very site of the archaeological finds
Within the ring-wall, which is 5 metres high and 6 metres in width, lie Iron Age houses built in stone and medieval longhouses built in timber using traditional methods and materials.
Visitors will be able to get a feel for what it was like to live in an ancient fortress of this size. Experience a living Iron Age and Middle Ages, and participate in various chores and handicraft which is done daily. You can, for example, try your hand at baking bread, archery, pole pillow fights, forging, textile crafts, games and much more. Or why not join one of our daily scheduled guided tours around the fortress.
