What is recorded here
Iron Age roundhouse at Barbury Castle Country Park is a castle, fort or tower in Wiltshire, England. Perhaps people lived inside the roundhouse while storms passed over Wiltshire. Maybe the walls blocked wind and gave the household a stable place for fire, food and sleep. Imagine a person moving through the room with a lantern while rain struck the roof.
